That’s nice but why pick the lowest possible bar and comparing it with the US?
It’s clearly not the lowest possible bar though?
Because the USA a large industrial economy.
Though I agree it would be also nice to see a comparison with the EU.
…? I think there are plenty of lower bars than the US… in fact I can’t think of a more apt country to compare to. If you count Europe as a region then that would be valid as well, I guess. The US is the only world economy on the same level as China.
