The ‘western’ world is losing its advantage. The bigger population is catching up due to globalisation.

What does PPP have to do with economy size? What is this cope? 😂😂😂

Interesting how China has shot up in PPP despite having a nominal GDP barely over 60% of the US. I would assume lower wages and poorer rural areas contribute to lower prices. I think World Bank measures includes Taiwan as part of China which inflate it a bit, but not significantly.

Lmao PPP is utterly useless for comparing the sizes of economies. The US as it stands is at 26.3% of world GDP while China is at 16.9%. The US has increased it’s share by about 5% in the last 15 years, and while China has increased much more during the same timeframe, it’s actually down 2% since 2021, during which period the US increased roughly 2%.

u know PPP is a whole load of crap, only with per capita does it have a small meaning, as it reflects the living conditions, but PPP is often measured quite dubiously (often only urban settings…)
