China has toppled America to become the biggest economy in the world, according to figures from the International Monetary Fund.

The White House seemed caught flat-footed by the news, crowing on Wednesday about America's relative economic strength in comparison with the rest of the world. 

The US has been the global leader since it overtook Britain in 1872, but has now lost its status as top dog.

The latest IMF figures show the Chinese economy is worth $17.61 trillion compared with $17.4 trillion for the U.S.

OK

Who doesn't knw this...

Good for them.
Aldo e no concern me.

God bless china.
Nigeria should begin to earmark a strong strategic relationship with china.
We must be china's main ally in africa.
It's only a matter of time before they trump the US in everything,from technology to military power.
Their infrastructure already blows that of the US away.

US bebt is just about 17.8 trillion USD? That is one massive figure. About 55K USD per citizen.

I am sure the next phase for china is to begin a sort of DV lottery scheme.
That way they leverage on the brains of hapless 3rd world citizens to help improve the quality of their technology and economy, just like the US and UK did and are still doing for decades.
It would probably be the greatest brain-drain phenomenon to ever hit africa.

USA over to you

Dis one na news? China has been on top for a very long time now but nobody wants to admit it. I gues d margin has bcome to wide to use celo-tape on.

The funniest thing is that, out of the 17.4 trillion USD of the American economy, about 14 trillion USD of the money belongs to china, cos America is indebted to China in large sum. In fact, 3/4 of American economy is owned by china.

Next God willing is Naija, we will topple America.

At last it's time..

Rubbish.
You think you are talking to an illiterate american?
lol.
China did not get to where they are by being racist.
They dont care where you come from , all they want is to do business.
Unlike america, china is not held back by western hypocritical morality and arrogance.
Check out the quality of trade and investments between Nigeria-china and Nigeria-US and tell me who is racist.
