Our reading
China’s fiscal deficit shrank while Trump predicted economic collapse, but the U.S. still has a bigger economy. It’s like the underdog wins the race, but the finish line is still miles away.
The U.S. is still the biggest economy, but China is running faster, and the only thing bigger than its GDP is the gap between Trump’s predictions and reality.
China’s growth is impressive, but the real story is that the U.S. is still the giant, even if it’s not sprinting as fast.
