    Comparing the most recently available GDP growth data for one year across multiple major economies : cherry picking

    Wondering why data from several decades ago (during the height of rapid massive industrialization that countries tend to only ever do once in their entire history) wasn’t included : not cherry picking

      One year is meaningless. A few years ago China's economy did much worse (covid), so someone could pick that year and make things up. You need to look at a trend for it to mean anything.
