Less than a decade. China’s economic rise to pre-eminence is quite something, to say the least. If that forecast bears out, then within my lifetime, China will have gone from the insane excesses of Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution to sitting on top of the world.

And amazingly, Trump’s obsessive trade war and rhetorical villain- mongering seems not to have retarded their growth curve in the least. Funny, that.*
