China’s GDP Only HALF of the US And Its Population Far Lower Than Official Figures

"Two of the most shocking secrets about China may be far more serious than the world realizes: its GDP could be only half that of the United States, and its real population may be only a fraction of what the Chinese Communist Party claims. Today, we take a deep dive into these explosive questions.
Population and economic strength are the core indicators in the competition between modern superpowers. Yet under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party, China has been repeatedly accused of falsifying both. In December last year, Chinese leader Xi Jinping stated that China’s economy could achieve around 5% growth in 2025. However, a report from the Rhodium Group estimated that China’s real GDP growth for 2025 would only reach between 2.5% and 3.0%—roughly half of the official figure."
