| China may be bigger economy than US within two years |
| 2010-11-10 |
| HereÂ’s a finding that will have any red-blooded American spluttering into his cornflakes. According to the Conference Board, a highly respected economic research association, China will overtake the US as the worldÂ’s biggest economy by 2012, or within two years. OK, so in dollar terms, thatÂ’s obviously not going to be the case. It will be a lot longer than two years before China overtakes the US on that measure. But in terms of purchasing power parity, according to the Conference BoardÂ’s latest world economic outlook, China is already nearly there, and by 2020 will have reached a size of output which is nearly half as big again as the US. |
