ECONOMIC 
POWER
• China is an economic superpower now. 
China now has a bigger market than the 
U.S. in buying power parity, and adjusts 
the worth of a dollar for what it can do in a 
given region. 
• Given that China has far more people 
producing and purchasing products, and 
they're going to get wealthier than they 
are now the difference is only likely to rise.
