Is it the US or is it China?
The point is: how do you want to measure it?
If you measure it by industrial capacity, then China is number one. There's no doubt about that.
If we look at the money flowing around, then the US is by far the largest. There's no doubt about that either.
In short, we can't agree on this.
But... what we will agree on is that the US is now destroying itself enormously. It's Trump who, with his constant arguments, is causing the US to trade less and less with other countries. The agricultural sector is already losing billions in revenue this year. Simply because Trump is acting like a jerk and the rest of the world is voting with their wallets.
That plays into China's hands.
But... there's a but. China isn't strong right now either! It's not that China is growing. It's that the US is shrinking!
In my opinion, India will be number three, and I predict there's a chance the two vying for the top spot won't see India ultimately taking the number one spot!
The reason is that China and the US will fight each other, and India will distance itself from them and ultimately benefit from the decline of both the US and China.
