中国的GDP主要靠城市建设、住房和高铁等基础设施的建设拉动的，
美国的GDP很大一部分是对其他国家的入侵和轰炸带来的。
基础设施建设的产生的GDP带来的是人民生活更加便利，主要是人民享有成果。
而美国的战争带来的GDP主要由美国精英大鳄们享有。美国把更多的钱花在战争上，而不是改善人民的生活上。

在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的2020年空战研讨会上，马斯克与美国空军中将约翰·汤普森在交谈时谈到了中美在经济和军事方面的竞争。马斯克预测，中国经济最终将超过美国至少两倍。
“China’s economy is gonna be two to three times the size
of the U.S. economy, at least double. Therefore, in order for the U.S.
to be competitive on a military level, the innovation has to overcome a
gigantic gap in economic output. – Okay. – So in the absence of radical
innovation, the U.S. will be militarily second.”
Consider this, both China's building of its cities, housing and fast train and the US invasion and bombing of other countries will produce GDP for both countries. The difference is, China's GDP from the building of infrastructure is directly enjoyed by the people while the US GDP from war is enjoyed mostly by the American elite.That's why the GDP is a fake measure.
