The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted in its latest World Economic Outlook that China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy as early as 2016. IMF economists believe the Chinese economy would by then reach $19 trillion, compared to a U.S. economy of just $18.8 trillion. This was seized as proof of superiority of the Chinese model of state-led capitalism and the end of American economic dominance. Don't believe it.
It's a bad idea to draw such an expansive conclusion from a single number. Long-term economic forecasts, especially linear predictions such as the IMF's, are notoriously inaccurate. Five years is a long time, and there are indications that China is in the midst of an unsustainable bubble.

NEW YORK (AP) - The world economy, buffeted by the credit crisis gripping financial markets, is expected to keep expanding in 2008 - albeit at a slower pace - with little fear of recession. But unlike past economic upswings driven by the U.S., Japan and Western Europe, the main engines of growth this time are predicted to be China, India and other emerging economies.
In its latest World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund projected that global economy would grow by 5.2 percent this year and moderate to 4.8 percent in 2008, compared with last year's 5.4 percent growth. The 2008 forecast was downgraded by nearly one- half percentage point from the summer outlook, reflecting the turbulent conditions in financial markets.
