Thread: why China will never rule the world. Many people e.g. @akarlin88 look at the numbers and the stats and project that China will dominate the world in n years.
That will never happen. China may be rich. But never *that* rich. And will never be able to dominate others.

Arguably Chinese GDP is higher than US already, and China seems to be dominating some backward countries already. China has unsinkable aircraft carriers in the South China sea. They are working on hypersonic missiles and stealth penetrating radar.

I don’t believe PPP figures for a second. China indeed is probably capable of destroying any invading US army. But so what? Even if it burns every ship over the SCS, cargo ships will have to take 3 more days to reach Japan. Doh.

China buys more cars per capita than Poland. I think their PPP figures are very plausible. http://www.oica.net/wp-content/uploads/Sales-all-vehicles-2017.pdf …

By that logic Argentina is a developed country. Way richer than Taiwan!

Chinese purchased slightly more new cars per capita last year than Argentina, so by that measure, Chinese slightly wealthier than Argentinians. Roughly half as wealthy as Americans. Chinese should be approximately as wealthy as Americans in fifteen years/
