Thanks.
Usually Naples, you like to use wikipedia to state your facts. O.K. this time I will.
These are the GDP nation totals for 2010 according to the I.M.F. ($Million)
USA ---- $14,624,184
CHINA - $10,084,369
This is the I.M.F. projection. You do trust the I.M.F. numbers don't you Naples.

I see what you are pointing out and you are correct Naples. I was going by PPP because it gives a more accurate depiction of quality of life in a nation.
But you were using nominal, which is what really matters in terms of the economic power of a nation as a whole.
I should have clarified that I was using real GDP not GDP nominal.
Thanks Naples.

It's interesting although again, it's a depiction of the personal wealth of the average citizen of China. That is where I got off track a bit. I was trying to show the total wealth of China as a nation. The reason for that was mainly to show how much they had in the till to potentially spend on their military. That is important IMO because, as I previously posted, China has been doubling it's military expenitures, as a % of GDP every year for the last ten years.
Yes it's interesting, I love learning about other nations, and the world.

referring to the linear extrapolations graph: linear extrapolations are the most basic, and therefore usually the worst, functions to model anything by unless it's actually linear... and China's rise to power is not linear

Well, all I can say is. If the United States is so rich then why did we borrow over $1,000,000,000,000 from them. I don't need a graph to realize SOMETHING just isn't right about that.

Because they have to pay for Obamacare. But that is another thread that maybe you could start Naples.
Are you sure that you are not a closet democrat Naples 
Because they like to change the subject, call people crazy, never give you a direct response to a question (even if it's yes or no) and my personla favorite tactic of there's, and apparently your's also, is.
