China New Economic Giant, Knocks Out US: Poll
Local Editor
According to a new opinion poll, people believe China will eventually replace the United States as the world's dominant economic power.
The findings are based on a new survey in 39 countries among 37,653 respondents from March 2 to May 1, 2013, conducted by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project.
Moreover, 53% in Britain see China as the leading economy, while just 33% name the US. As for Germany, 59% believe China is the global economic leader and only 19% think the US is.
Even in many countries where the US is still seen as the biggest global power, most believe China will one day become the world's leading superpower.
In March, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said that China's economy will surpass the United States as the world's largest economy by 2016 in terms of purchasing power.
