Murcia: 21 trillion
China: 27 trillion
That’s power that a military can’t beat... They own America’s paper GDP, especially considering China’s power goes towards its people much more than America.. They have universal healthcare. They crushed covid19. They have less homeless and less incarcerated. It’s an actual society. Oh, they video their citizens like America but they want to make a better society. It’s all so terrible! America would never try to make their society better. They can’t even admit they track their people.
And how did covid19 work out for America
I'm wondering if China did this on purpose....

You also forgot to mention that China also has massive corruption, ghost cities, concentration camps for its ethnic and religious minorities, zero regard for due process, and human/civil rights. Oh, and they also have their wet markets. China FTW!!!

Yeah President Xi owes state owned US banks a fortune, we have him on the hook. Oh wait I got that backwards.
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/revealed-trump-owes-tens-of-millions-of-dollars-to-a-state-owned-chinese-bank/Oh NO! Where will all of your skinny doped up running clones go to suck the dollars out of that nation's racing structure then? Italy? Not so fast. Spain? Hurting there too. China? They are going to be hurt badly by Corona for a generation. Britain? Well, no, they're in trouble too. You could try making your racing money on the continent of Africa. Or you could try your hand in Russia, since Vlad has things so nicely under control. The US is staggering because of this pandemic, but the virus doesn't happen to care about nationality, so everyone is getting knocked down a few pegs here. The US will come out of this diminished just as every other country will come out of this diminished, but likely not more than any others. OP is a clown.

... has been the most transcendent experience of my life. Absolutely staggering! As a lifelong student of history, I can’t believe I got to witness the collapse of two empires (Soviet and American) in, speaking historically, such a short span. The speed at which the USA ceded ground to China has been lighting fast. And it appears a third empire (the E.U.) might be on shaky ground.
Mind-blowing! ?
Without Americans and Europeans buying the stuff manufactured in Chinese factories, those factories are idled. China is, if anything, more dependent on Europe and the US than the other way around. Never forget too that for many decades, Chinese leaders have been deathly afraid of having to feed SO many mouths, 1.5 billion currently . We see that as their strength, while they know it is their greatest weakness. China is also historically focused on internal policies and on keeping invaders out. Their history is as an inward-facing nation. Their recent forays into international expansion have focused on consolidating control of territory they consider to be theirs already, and some odd explorations in Africa. China will be badly hurt by Corona, because of direct impact from the virus itself, but then from economic decline in the face of Euro and American suffering. As we go, so goes China. Nobody is going to come out of this clean. Nobody. We're facing years of change, but most don't have the imagination to digest that all of our lives have changed and for the long term.

Lies will always eventually fail , they know that too and as you said , they will take any credit for 'any' lives saved but none for all the lives destroyed.
Time is way past to end these farcical one party/two party systems that are called Democracies and/or Parties.
The Judiciary , supposedly separate ? has run away like a little scared mouse, that means they are either payed off or they have a gun to their heads ?
Never thought I would think this , even say it ? but we need guns to defend ourselves otherwise the next long lines we will be standing in will be the lines to the work camps.
"Lies will always eventually fail"? I'd love for this to be true, but.....TODAY, 40-50% of Americans will, if asked, give a pathological liar president the thumb's up. He knew, or guessed, that right under the surface, a near-majority of Americans are OK with completed dishonesty, and is doing a great job at doing everything he can to normalize dishonesty in a very short period of time. So depressing.

Yes, and the majority of those workers are immigrants, many of them undocumented. If there is any hope at all for our future as a great country, it's our immigrants.

"The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#Hispanics"According to a 2009 report by the Pew Hispanic Center, in 2007 Latinos "accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders ‒ more than triple their share (13%) of the total U.S. adult population". This was an increase from 24% in 1991. Between 1991 and 2007, enforcement of federal immigration laws became a growing priority in response to undocumented immigration. By 2007, among Hispanic offenders sentenced in federal courts, 48% were immigration offenses, 37% drug offenses, and 15% for other offenses. One reason for the large increase in immigration offenses is that they exclusively fall under federal jurisdiction."
You are a dangerous, radical leftist. Not all immigrants are equal. They can be a burden and a danger.
You are a leftist liar or a delusional leftist.
You stupid racists are adorable. Did you know that blacks and whites use drugs at the same rates? However the incarceration rate is seven times higher for blacks.
This thread is hilarious. America haters and their wishful thinking

As it stands, it looks like 100 years from now the superpowers are going to be China, India and the EU--if the EU holds together. The 20'th century was the US's century. It was the largest unified country with a fully developed economy. Obviously there is going to be a point in time where it's absolute power is eclipsed by significantly larger countries. Regions like rest of Asia, Africa and South America are too fragmented for wield real power. The wildcard is these regions forming federations like the EU.
The EU won't be a superpower in 100 years. Probably not even in 50. Their demographics are horrible. Its countries are rapidly aging. The EU's economic growth was already really low pre-coronavirus. There's no reason to be optimistic in the future of Europe.
India and China will eventually pass the US in nominal GDP, but China is going to have a lot of problems. Their population is expected to drop ~400 million by 2100. Not a good sign. India has more potential long term, but it's not a given they'll escape the middle income trap.
There is more to these leaders than what they did wrong. Our founding fathers had faults, but that does not mean that they cannot be memorialized for what they did right. Like it, or not they played a large role in creating what we have today. The greatest country on earth!

This has always been the case.
Shows how clueless you guys are. Factories are almost entirely white. Walk through any auto factory or tractor factor or appliance factory and you won't see any first generation workers. Immigrants are roofing and landscaping and working in meat processing plants.

False. They didn't have food stamps, social security, welfare, or section housing for illegals.
In fact, they had a basic IQ test at Ellis Island, and they also checked for disease.
You are a leftist liar or you are a delusional leftist.

Not all immigrants are equal, and you are a liar or a delusional leftist if you think flooding your schools, towns, and stores with uneducated, unskilled people from the 3rd World will increase your fun, joy, happiness, and peace.
