Is the US economy expanding faster than China’s?
With the fastest economic growth in over four decades and the greatest year of job growth in American history, the GDP results for my first year illustrate that we are finally constructing an American economy for the twenty-first century. Our economy expanded faster than China’s for the first time in 20 years.
This isn’t a coincidence. To assist our companies become more competitive, my economic policy focuses on creating excellent jobs for Americans, restoring our manufacturing sector, and improving our supply chains here at home.
Americans are now able to find better jobs with greater salary and benefits. Layoffs are at an all-time low.
With recent announcements from Intel in Ohio and GM in Michigan, companies are investing in new manufacturing lines and plants in the United States. In America, we’re remaking the future.
Since 2019, the number of new small company applications has climbed by more than 30%. Americans are once again dreaming, believing in themselves and in their country.
We are finally constructing a 21st-century American economy, and I urge Congress to keep the momentum going by passing legislation to improve America’s competitiveness, strengthen our supply chains, strengthen manufacturing and innovation, invest in our families and clean energy, and lower kitchen table costs.

BEIJING/TOKYO China’s GDP will not surpass that of the United States until 2033, rather than 2029, as anticipated by the Japan Center for Economic Research a year ago.

What happens if China overtakes the United States?
As it prepares to eclipse the United States in the following decade, researchers believe that China’s economy will more rely on state investment, high-tech growth, and domestic consumption with less input from its former staple of export manufacturing.
According to the British consultancy Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), China’s GDP would rise at 5.7 percent per year until 2025, then 4.7 percent per year until 2030. China, now the world’s second-biggest economy, is expected to overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy by 2030, according to the report. Euler Hermes, a credit insurance company, made a similar prediction.
According to state media, Chinese leaders have pushed for a greater reliance on value-added services over traditional manufacturing exports during the last decade. Manufacturing has been put under additional strain by the Sino-US trade war and early 2020 employment closures owing to COVID-19.

Who is the more powerful, China or America?
The US has resisted the global epidemic to acquire comprehensive power in Asia for the first time in four years, solidifying its place at the top, while China has lost ground and has no obvious path to uncontested domination in the region.
The Lowy Institute’s 2021 Asia Power Index used 131 factors to evaluate 26 countries in the Indo-Pacific area on eight criteria, including economic resources, military spending, and cultural and diplomatic impact.
According to a study of regional power shifts, the United States has surpassed China in two key categories: diplomatic influence and projected future resources and capabilities, expanding its lead over China as Asia’s most powerful country.
It’s the first time the US has grown in power since the Asia Power Index was introduced in 2018, and it follows a severe drop in 2020 when COVID-19 destroyed the country.
In 2050, who will be the superpower?
“India has the characteristics of becoming an economic superpower by 2050,” Padhi said, citing the country’s young population. In the global economy, India will have 700 million youthful workers in the next 30 years.” India is the world’s largest democracy, with a strong emphasis on friendship and innovation.
Can China achieve superpower status?
China is a worldwide superpower under current President Xi Jinping. China has the potential to overtake the United States as the world’s biggest superpower in the future, with the world’s second-largest economy, a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, a modernized armed force, and an ambitious space program.
The aspiration for great power status in China dates back to Mao Zedong’s period in the 1950s. China became a regional power to be reckoned with after bringing the US to a halt during the Korean War (195053) and assisting the Vietnamese communists in defeating the French in 1954 and later the Americans. Recognizing China’s strategic importance, the US pursued rapprochement with its erstwhile foe from 1969 to 1979, culminating in the establishment of diplomatic ties.
Deng Xiaoping, who succeeded Mao as China’s supreme leader in 1978, implemented a reform and opening-up strategy. Deng opened China to global trade and investment by embracing market forces. Despite the violently suppressed Tiananmen Square student uprisings in 1989 and the collapse of communism in the Soviet bloc in 198991, which gave Deng a siege mentality, China’s economic liberalization continued apace. China’s integration into the global economy has been aided by the acceleration of globalisation throughout the 1990s, particularly with its entrance to the World Trade Organisation in late 2001.
If Deng’s China was a rising economic superpower, Xi Jinping’s China had all the characteristics of a global superpower. China is more confident, ambitious, and proactive than it has ever been. Xi seeks to construct a “community of shared destiny for mankind” through thinking and acting worldwide. The Belt and Road Initiative is a large-scale infrastructure and investment project aimed at resurrecting the old Silk Roads by establishing economic linkages across Eurasia. Despite the fact that some western critics consider the effort as China’s ‘debt trap,’ part of a strategy to conquer the world, Xi sees it as win-win collaboration that should become the standard in a new world order. The future of world history will be shaped by how the reigning superpower, the United States, responds to the rising China.
