From the article

The world’s second-largest economy will grow just 2% this year, Bloomberg Economics wrote in a report Thursday. By comparison, US gross domestic product will increase 2.8% this year, Bloomberg Economics predicts.

So the US isn’t outpacing China, Bloomberg PREDICTS it will outpace China. Propaganda in action folks. :pinocchio-ussr:

It even gives a different number that contradicts itself later in the story. :tito-laugh:

The Bloomberg Economics call is on the bearish end of the spectrum, with the median forecast for China’s 2022 GDP growth still over 4%.
