Evidently his tie has grown longer than Trump’s in that time.

Sooo ... Sources ?
Cause e.g. if you look up Chinas Debt/GDP ratio you will find ~90℅
( https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/debt-to-gdp-ratio-by-country )

If you look for the average incone you will find ~ 10000 yuan
( https://wage.is/china/ )

42k seems incredibly unlikely: 42k yuan would down to 6.2k dollars a month - or ~ 75k a year
The chinese laborforce is about 770 Million people ( https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.TOTL.IN?locations=CN )

In that case wages would be quite a bit bigger than gdp (AS claimed Here) which is essentially impossible

Comparing the average wage claimed Here to gdp/capital claimed here we would also have to assume for Every Worker there are 3 non workers - which again is not compatible with chinese workforce data

What China achived in the last 2 decades is impressive enough AS it is - i dont geht why you feel the need to exaggerate it (unless of course you can Provide sources )

When you put the numbers like this, it is easy to see why Western media hates him.

GDP PPP = 41 trillion https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-by-country/?metric=ppp&region=asia&source=imf&year=2025
GDP per capita = 13.000 https://data.worldbank.org/country/china

i think that rather than being an actual exaggeration the person who created it used some bad descriptions for things. what they describe as gdp is clearly ppp. income is probably 42.000 annually for example.

the man who showed me how to tie a tie used the metric of the "size of your manhood" as the ratio for making sure your tie sits correctly on you and that's the first thing that comes to mind every time is see trumps ties. lol

Thanks for sharing, I thought the debt number had to be wrong (just knowing that China, like most nations, is driven by debt). Appreciate the sources.

Ah yes the TIbet region of China well known for being the entire reason any of China has wealth. Why it's so full of gold you just stumble over it walking down the street and as we know the only reason China has any money or power is the magical land of gold known as Tibet which allows them to ship gold all over the world and just print money!

Oh wait. That's not true at all. Tibet is actually one of the lesser developed regions owing to its distance from the sea, ports and industry located on the eastern coast for export, as well as its arid land being unsuitable for large scale agriculture and as a result the amount it contributes to China's overall economy is likely minuscule compared to a powerhouse like Guangdong. Of course we and the Chinese take into account the circumstances of Xizang which is why:

As of at least 2019, Tibet has the largest total per capita government expenditure of any region in China, including on health care, the highest per capita government expenditure on education, and the second highest per capita government expenditure on social security and employment.

Because China understands collective economic benefits and security.

Everybody knows that, that's why GDP numbers almost always control for inflation. Here's one from the world bank that also controls for purchase power parity: 205% increase in PPP and inflation controlled GDP per person from 2012 to 2025.
