Economics focus How to get a date

摘要

In The spring of 2011 the Pew Global Attitudes Survey asked thousands of people worldwide which country they thought was the leading economic power. Half of the Chinese polled reckoned that America remains number one, twice as many as said "China". Americans are no longer sure: 43% of us respondents answered "China"; only 38% thought America was still the top dog. The answer depends on which measure you pick. An analysis of 21 different indicators chosen by The Economist (the full set is at economist.com/chinavusa) finds that China has already overtaken America on over half of them and will be top on virtually all of them within a decade.
