China GDP: 8.3T (2012)

Brazil GDP: 2.5T (2012) Russia GDP: 2.1T (2012)

India GDP: 1.9T (2012)

India isn't even in the same league as China. India has to compete with Russia/Brazil. BRIC is an old grouping from years ago.

Having a huge population and being democratic doesn't automatically give you a bigger economy. Look at South Korea (1.3T) or Japan (6T) comparatively.



China will follow a similar path as the USSR. Dynamic efficiency is not very good in state managed economies.

Also, read the CIA world fact book pages for China/India.


with 8.3T GDP... are you serious? Could you describe the scenario where China has an economic collapse?

If such a scenario were to happen... it'd would be pretty catastrophic the world over. GIven how tied the US and China's economies are tied, I don't think the US would allow a USSR style collapse... :\
