    This is literally the GDP growth rate. I don’t think you know what you are talking about, but please point us to a definition of the indicator you are talking about as well as to the comparison by country.

      I think they’re comparing the 2nd derivative of GDP; the growth rate is the 1st derivative.

      The claim is roughly:

      The US is growing slowly, but doing so at a consistent pace. It will keep growing 2% indefinitely.

      China is growing faster now, but the rate is slowing year over year. They will grow 5% this year, 4% next year,… The implication is that they’ll eventually settle domewhere below the US for (preferred boogeyman reason)

      Of course the premise is low value speculation, but the math concepts can be parsed.
