And yet, quality of life in Europe is generally higher that the quality of life in China.

Europe is becoming weaker and less relevant and won't be able to survive in a competitive world.

Plus, maintaining a GDP growth rate that's too large for too long is a recipe for a recession or depression (not to mention hyperinflation), especially for developed nations. Maybe things might be different for a developing nation, but once they catch up with The West, maintaining such a high rate of growth will end up biting them in the ass.

Your source seem to be wrong. US historical average GDP growth rate was almost 4% much higher than now.

Nonsense.

Most European countries are below that "ideal" 2-3% GDP growth rate which is caused by wasteful welfare spending

Meanwhile, in the real world, the EU as a whole had a growth rate of about 3.5% over 2022.

They were recovering from recession caused by pandemic. For the last 20 years most European economies had 0-1% growth rate.
