Only 33 percent people think that US's economy US is still No.1. The survey was conducted among 1007 Amricans through telephone from Feb. 11th to 14th. In 2000, about 65 percent people supported that US was No.1 in the world. In 2006, China ranked No.4 in GDP ranking. According to a survey made 8 years ago, over 50 percent Americans believed that US would be still No.1 in next 20 years. However, more and more people believe that China will surpass US in 20 years.

The media of USA greatly propagandize that China will threat USA and that makes American think instinctively that Chinese economic will surpass USA. In fact American doesn't know a lot about China, lots of information they get coming from media, so I think result of this investigation has no any meaning. This result can't reflect any thing.
In fact, it is a long way for China to surpass USA, our big porpulation, education qualify and environment are still the problems which block our improvement.
