Competition for Worlds Largest Economy

In a recent prediction by economy experts, China is supposed to take over the US's spot as the largest economy by 2020 but only for so long before India is predicted to take that title away from China by 2050. Based on the predicted GDP's of the countries in 2050, the U.S. will only have a GDP of 39 trillion while China will double that with 80 trillion and India will even do better with an 85 trillion GDP. These numbers are just educated guesses, not fact, but I thought it was interesting that China and India should produce so much more than us in such a short time.Linyi, Kelamayi and Guiyang in China; Surat and Nagpur in India are cities we should follow in the future according to the article.

  1. I thought that this article was really interesting. India has always intrigued me and I'm curious about the place. I know that the church is just beginning to grow there as well.

  2. I knew that China was going to take the position of the world's largest economy from the United States but I had no idea that India was right behind. I thought that was interesting to see how strong the economy in different countries are becoming.
