WASHINGTON Baratas Rebajas Asics Gel Lyte V Marina Azules , Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Americans continue to believe that China, rather than the United States, is the world's leading economic power, finds a Gallup poll released Monday.
The poll, conducted on Feb. 3-7 Asics Gel Lyte V Azules Baratas Tienda , finds that 50 percent of Americans view China as the leading economic power, compared to 37 percent who believe their country is the top economy in the world.
In the year 2000, when the U.S. economy was booming, nearly two-thirds of Americans saw their own country as the leading global economic power. Japan was viewed as second at 16 percent, and China was third at 10 percent Mujer Asics Gel Lyte III Rosa Comprar Baratas , according to Gallup.
However, by the next time Gallup asked about this in February 2008, when the United States was in recession and China's economy was growing at nearly 10 percent annually, China edged ahead of the United States to 40 percent, while the latter gained 33 percent. By 2011 Asics Gel Lyte III Rojas Doradas Baratas Tienda , the majority of U.S. adults believed China was the world's No. 1 economy.
Whether China or the United States is the largest economic power is not entirely straightforward. Data from the U.S. Department of Commerce shows that the U.S. annual gross domestic product (GDP) in 2014 was 17,348 billion U.S. dollars, while China's GDP in the same year was 63,591 billion yuan (9,740 billion U.S. dollars) Baratas Rebajas Mujer Asics Gel Lyte III Rojas Blancas , according to China's National Bureau of Statistics.
Although China's GDP now counts for a little more than half of that of the United States, the International Monetary Fund recently declared China to be the biggest on the basis of purchasing power.
Meanwhile, Gallup finds more Americans predicting that the United States will be the world's leading economic power in 20 years.
Forty-four percent expect the United States to be No. 1 at that time, eclipsing the 34 percent who name China as the world's future No. 1 economy in 20 years.
This is nearly a reversal of attitudes from 2011 and 2012, when more Americans named China than the United States. Still Asics Gel Lyte III Negras Rebajas Venta , it is a long way from 2000, when the United States was the dominant response.
Americans viewed Japan as more powerful a decade and a half ago, at a time when its economy was the world's second-largest, a position the island nation lost to China in recent years.
But today, no other country really competes with China and the United States for the distinction of global economic power in the minds of Americans. In terms of the current leading economic powers Comprar Online Asics Gel Lyte III Grises , only 5 percent name Japan, 4 percent name the European Union, 2 percent name Russia and 1 percent name India.
China's rapid economic growth over the past decade or more, along with the U.S. economic struggles, likely contributed to Americans' perceptions that China had overtaken the United States.
CAIRO Tienda En línea Asics Gel Lyte III Blancas Grises , Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Egyptian Supreme Council for Armed Forces (SCAF) on Monday has allowed Defense Minister Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, also the army chief, to run for presidential elections, official news agency MENA and state-run Ahram website reported.

NAIROBI， March 25 (Xinhua) -- A regional summit on the plight of Somali refugees opened in Nairobi Saturday， with calls for Kenya to keep Dadaab， the world's largest refugee camp open， as solutions are sought to end the long suffering of the refugees.
In his opening remarks， Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta however called on the international community to act right to fully bring back Somalia into the fold of the international community of nations， as he rooted for durable solutions to the Somali refugees problem.
Kenyatta said the recent presidential elections in Somalia is the latest indication that Somalia is on the right track thanks to the determination of its people， the commitment by the African Union and the support of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
"The recent election of President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed is the latest and clearest indication of the progressive success of our collective efforts， alongside the brave people of Somalia，" said Kenyatta who hosted a special IGAD summit whose agenda was to find a lasting solution to return Somali refugees back to their homes.
Kenya has been pushing for the closure of the Dadaab refugee camp， citing security challenges that it faces as a result of the influx of refugees， who also include supporters of extremist groups.
"The refugee camp in Dadaab has lost its value as a ground for humanitarian assistance. It has become a source of terrorism，" Kenyatta told the Summit in Nairobi.
He made a passionate appeal that turned focus on the refugees themselves and why it was the right time for them to go back home and participate in building their nation.
"A refugee camp was never meant to be a permanent home， nor is being a refugee a promise of losing your citizenship and your country，" he said.
Kenyatta detailed that more than 400，000 refugees from Somalia have been cramped into the Dadaab refugee for more than two decades.
He said the camp has always operated with a fraction of the budget it requires and the life has been hard on the refugees.
Besides， the suffering for the refugees， the president said the camp has long lost its humanitarian character.
"It is not acceptable to us that a space that is supposed to provide safety and assistance is transformed to facilitate agents of terror and destruction，" said Kenyatta.
