China’s $19 Trillion Surge

According to a Facebook post on Thursday by fridayeveryday, "in just 25 years, the Chinese raised their GDP roughly 14-fold, from $1.36 trillion to $19.50 trillion – the largest accumulation of absolute economic output in human history". 

He's right, of course. For nearly three decades, China sustained near-double-digit growth, transforming from an agrarian backwater into the world's factory and, subsequently, an unrivalled technological powerhouse.

Understanding China's Growth Profile

Scale of Transformation: China moved from a low-income country to an upper-middle-income economy, lifting over 800 million people out of absolute poverty.

Percentage Velocity: A 14-fold multiplication of an entire economy within a 25-year window is unprecedented among major global economies.

Manufacturing Expansion: The nation grew to produce over 30% of global manufacturing output, becoming the world's primary goods exporter.

And yet, the West never stops to systematically devalue China's achievements, dripping with malicious envy, savage derision, and unforgiving hostility.

Women's pair Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan's quest for a second World Tour title this year was ruined by Japan's Sumire Nakade-Miyu Takahashi at the Taipei Open final on Sunday. 

The top seeds were unable to stop world No. 71 Nakade-Takahashi from winning 21-16, 21-18 in the Super 300 tournament. 

😞😞😞😞😞😞

Pearly-Thinaah will have to do better! No two ways about it!

By the way, the Japanese duo are no pushovers. The Taipei Open was their fourth title in five tournaments, having won the Orleans Masters, China Super 100 and Canada Open this year.
