I thought China has already overtaken the US this year, or was that just projection? I thought US gdp was around $24tr and China around $28tr or something similar (but with the 4tr+ difference).

I've seen many notable projections also about China and Russia no longer being countries by 2028 (eg splitting due to war or civil differences) which is something I think we'll see a large pressure on a split at some point (especially in china).
I do not know why but I had the same idea, I thought that China had surpassed the US already but it seems this is not the case yet according to the data shared on the thread, still as they say this is a matter of time if things keep going in this direction.

Which is why I find the prediction about China and Russia splitting to be such a curious thing, an open war will be disastrous for the world so countries need to rely in underhanded methods to try to undermine their opponents and to try to incite civil unrest seems like a good tactic but I do not really see how Chinese will go through something like that when they put so much effort to keep their citizens in check.
