Who agrees, and why?In terms of economic might, BBVA has created an index of "world market power" enabling an at-a-glance view of a nation's impact on the global economy via relevance of exports, exposure to external shocks, technological conshows the highest value not only among emerging economies but also when considering all the sample, inverting with the US the rank order given by the exports’ share in nominal terms.
China holds the largest share among emerging markets in the sample for 9 out of 18 industries, including all manufacturing groups except food (surpassed by Brazil). The largest industry share corresponds to textiles and leather (above 30%).
tent, and retained value-added. And the winner is... Hint, not USA...
The largest foreign holder of U.S. debt is China, which owns more about $1.2 trillion in bills, notes and bonds, according to the Treasury.
What's not to agree with?
Cuba perhaps? It is one of the few places where the population has stood up to the worldbullies, when all's said.
Just not to the Domestic dictatorship....
Well, they never had anything else. The current one is at least less corrupt and grovelling than your old chums, fair play.

America haters love Cuba not only because they hate America but because they love a communist dictatorship
Who are "my old chums" and how is the current Cuban police state "less corrupt"?
The scumbags who turned Cuba into an American gambling-den and a brothel, obviously. You think your scumbags weren't corrupt? Why do you think the Cuban people reject you like the bloody plague, man?

Hogwash! Cuba is generally admired because they withstood the tyranny imposed by the embargo. They stood up to the bad ass with the big stick, the USA, and managed to develop a system that is resilient and takes care of its' own people. They also export physicians to help other Nations. Corporate influence prevents such physician programs in the USA. Cuba likely has some warts, but negligible compared to the USA. The USA Mainstream Brainstream Media has demonized Cuba per the request of its handlers since Castro came to power. Too much CIA control of our news.
LOL in your haste to damn America, it forces you in bed with scumbags like Castro. Or was it the love of communism first that caused the America Hate in your posts? Either way, its as silly as it is idiotic
The sad thing is that you believe all of this. Again, why are people getting on rafts and risking their families lives to get to America?
More importantly, why are you not on a raft heading for Cuba?
Their economic might is almost entirely derived from having a gigantic population. They are a full-scale 1st world business empire, a 2nd world totalitarian state and a bunch of third world countries all within the same borders.

President Castro is, after all, superior to those who lick arses for money and power. You know, unfortunately, nothing about politics, because Senator McCarthy removed a key bit of your national anatomy. Squeak on, or go and shoot up a school or two to prove your 'freedom'.
