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%.

    That's not a contradiction. They're saying according to their estimates the US will grow faster, but that is not the case with the median estimate from however many groups

      That's how propaganda works though. People read the title and skim the article and all they remember are the vibes associated with it. The vibe with this is china bad, usa goood

        I'm not saying this is anything put propaganda. There were US state department twitter accounts sharing this around because as you said, people see the title and skim it.
