"Interestingly, the U.S. outlook is brighter today than China's, in contrast with a mere couple of years ago when China looked destined to be the dominant economy." A lot of it is news hype. Disaster sells stories, a "2% decrease in growth" doesn't. The US wasn't doing badly a few years ago, and China isn't doing all that badly now. Something to remember when the hype and stories come up in the next few years. We'll all muddle through, just like we always do.
