Quote:My claim is that even if China's economic statistics is a lie, exports is a good indirect indicator of general health of Chinese economy. And their exports are growing VERY fast.
Then your claim is bullshit and no they are not 
Again your ignorance on full display

Quality of life and human right must always trump GDP and the west is superior to China because it does.Welfare is good. Social programs are good.The economy doesn't require they be rolled back.

Democrats burst out laughing at Marjorie Taylor Greene as she’s presiding over the House when she told them to obey "decorum of the house"
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Maybe they’re growing faster than we are because the Chinese handle arsonists who want to burn down the state differently than we do?
We elect them here, what’s the sop in china on that?

Having MTG wielding the gavel is about as clown shoes as it gets with Trump in Florida and not in DC.
She's a complete wingnut. I am stocking up on popcorn for the day when her total meltdown is aired.

If you look at the OECD data that is based on, Chile spends about half of its tax revenue on public spending. The percentage of GDP is low because tax revenue is low.
