      We’ll see what they think after the capital market is formed

      More Greeks and Italians think Japan is the world’s leading economy than EU. Got to say that is funny.

      I mean, when it’s phrased like that – yeah, those two are overwhelming. But I bet if the question was phrased literally: ‘Do you believe the EU is a leading economic power?’, sans comparisons, I’m sure we’d get results way above 15%. 

      Instead of “grass is greener” let’s recognise how well we’ve got it, huh?

      “Have little faith” seems a bit loaded. The EU is second after the US in GDP and third after China in terms of PPP adjusted GDP. It’s not a question of faith.

      China has a lot of people, the increase has reached its peak but it will still have years of growth. That being said, the US will probably remain the leading economy for more reasons than just population.

      I don’t see many conclusions being made in their article. There is a big difference in the results between some european countries that would seem somewhat similar, for example between Germany and Sweden. I’m not sure what the reason for what is.

      That’s probably because Europeans do not see EU as a single country and with a union it is a mixed perception. If we asked an average European to order the 28 members according to their economic power, how many will get it right after the top 3 countries?

      So this is just vibe then? Because China has huge significant headwinds impacting its economy. Its debt is 300% of GDP given all of the provincial debt that it has. The country has passed its demographic peak, which is now skewed more towards older people. It has a real estate bubble that forms the core of its equity and investment market that is slowly imploding, leading to deflation and poor consumer spending. China has yet to escape the middle income trap. It seems that people have bought into the Chinese economy propaganda. I’m sure China will still be a major player in key industries like AI and green tech for years to come but the numbers simply don’t support the notion that they are the top economy.

      That’s not a matter of faith, it’s a matter of knowing or not knowing.

      I think these type of statistics are more about how well the country liked or how much presence they have in the country than the actual economic performance. For example majority of the countries who chose US over China have historical or current feuds with China. Same goes other way around too of course.

      I’m surprised that average Greek thinks China has stronger economy over US because I thought US tourists are quite numerous there and was told they always tip and shop higher than every other country.. Any Greeks here that could shed some light as to why China’s economy perceived stronger than US?
