Sure thing:
For China:
, "
In the first three quarters,
China's GDP grew by 3 percent year-on-year to 87.03 trillion yuan ($12 trillion), up from 2.5 percent rise in the first half, the bureau said."
For the United States: Annualized United States Real GDP in 2021 were 19,216.22; 19,544.25 and 19,678.59 for 1Q, 2Q and 3Q respectively. For 2022, they were 19,924.01; 19,895.27; and 20.021.70. The US 1Q-3Q21 average if GDP was 19,479.69 and for 1Q-3Q22, it was 19,946.99 or a 2.4% increase. (
)
3/2.4 = 1.25.
See, when you show your work, I can show you why you're wrong! I mean... you can't read it from this account anymore but when you get a new account, you can see now why you're wrong. Year to date growth means how much you've grown since Q4 of last year. You don't average 3 quarters and compare them to the average of 3 of last year's quarters because there's no such thing as an average of 3 continuous quarters; the sole concept doesn't make sense. The GDP number is continuous; they don't add onto each other because every quarter is what the last quarter became. So!
According to your chart, the US gdp was 20,006.2 in Q4 2021 and now it is 20,021.7 in Q3 2022 and you divide the latter by the former and you get a 200217/200062=1.00077. That's
0.077% growth year-to-date for the US. This is why if you search for year-to-date growth, all US economists say it took Q3's 2.6% to bring that number barely positive. Year-to-date growth shows how the economy is doing this year, which is what we are trying to compare.
For China:
"On a yearly basis, the economy also grew by 3.9% in the third quarter, picking up from a 0.4% expansion in the prior period and bringing the
year-to-date growth to 3%."
In other words, since Q4 2021, China grew 3% while the US grew 0.077%. What's 3/0.077? It's ugly; you know it's ugly, right? It's almost 40 times.
You can wait, it's going to show China significantly decelerated vis-a-vis the United States
Live in the now, and I just showed you what it looks like now with year-to-date growth. Whatever Q4 turns into, China's still converging in nominal terms, leaving the US behind. Next year, US 3rd recession LOL
It's unambigiously true that China's convergence vis-a-vis the United States has slowed substantially in the first 3 quarters of 2021
Proven wrong above
and since China still has zero COVID, well, lol, 2022 counts as part of COVID as well.
Tell that to the US LOL Still people dying, politicians saying it's post-COVID.
1.25x followed. Even if you assume the most bullish growth forecasts for China (i.e.; China grows 4% in 2022) and the most bearish growth forecasts foor the United States (i.e., the US grows at 1.9% in 2022), the US economy would be 4% larger than it was in 2020; China's would be 14.9% larger or about 2x. So indeed, zero COVID has truly cut the rate for which CHina's economic convergence happened from a pre-COVID of 3.88x to a during-COVID of 3.66x (yes, 2022 counts as a during-COVID since China still has fanatical zero-COVID)
Gonna ignore cus the underlying 1.25 was proven wrong but at a glance, 14.9% is actually more than 3X, closer to 4X the value of 4%... and also, 3.88X (corrected to over 5%) is during COVID, 2.48 was pre-COVID and now it's... almost 40X year-to-date. Don't get your numbers "conveniently" mixed up. Fanatical Zero COVID destroyed dumbass "It's gonna disappear like a miracle."
Um, yes? But in any case, PPP and NOminal GDP growth basically track each other
Not when the US is jacking up its currency value by over 10% to try to stop inflation.
since GDP growth units are always reported in local currency units
That's called PPP. They're reported in USD converted value for nominal. That's the difference.
If the US grew at 2.4% continuously and China grew at 3% continously, China would only surpass the US in 45 years (but it would probably never happen since China's GDP growth would fall substantially due to the demographic crisis)
LOL If. That's in your imagination. The US has basically no growth this year to now and is slated for another recession after the recession this year. If LOL
PPP terms try to correct for cost of living differences
ok so far...
but trying to correct for the mechanism by which economic development happens
aaand you're gone. The mechanism by which economic development happens needs to correction; this sentence makes no sense already. PPP is what the nation actually produced.
The US trying to decouple trade despite trade being the only reason nominal GDP exists falsly propping up the US economy is LOLCOW (dumbass disease).
Here's another word: vernacular which you can look up (
). Metastasize is used in the vernacular to describe an issue getting bigger and getting worse - the Merriam-Webster has a few examples of that
![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
.
Your link opens up to define it as a cancer mechanism. Your sentence referred to a slowdown as a metastasis when even used loosly, it would mean the opposite. Smiley faces don't reverse the meanings of words, unfortunately for you.
Then why does convergence depend on China's use of Zero COVID?
birth rates have already crashed,
They were decreasing with modernization; has nothing to do with COVID.
labor force participation is already lower and business investment activity is forever lower as well
Unfortunately for you, forever doesn't mean for the short time up to now or an undefined period of time according to your hopium. As long as the US suffers worse, and it is, we're more than on track.
- whether it recovers to some semblance to normal or whether it doesn't is of course, up to China to see if it wants to correct its own fanatical zero COVID mistakes can get to maybe 4-5% growth, maybe not.
"Come on, China, get rid of Zero COVID! It'll be so good afterwards LOL It's irreparable but not irreparable; just come on and be like us." LOLOL Sad desperate West
