US & China's Combined GDP Equals 184 Countries

US & China's Combined GDP Equals 184 Countries

Gulf Insider02-06-2025
The U.S. and China are in the midst of their second trade war in seven years.
Earlier this year President Trump announced an initial 34% 'reciprocal' tariff rate on China, leading to a swift Chinese retaliation.
For a brief period, both crossed into 100% territory (i.e., more than the entire cost of the goods itself).
Experts cautioned that the resulting chaos could wipe off hundreds of billions from both economies and financial markets saw a swift downturn in response.
Since then, tariff rates have come down: varying between 40โ€“50% on Chinese goods entering the U.S. and 10โ€“30% on U.S. products entering China.
In this chart, Visual Capitalist's Pallavi Rao compares the combined GDP of the U.S. and China versus everyone else, using April 2025 data from the International Monetary Fund.
The latest estimates for 2025 have America's and China's combined GDP at roughly $50 trillion.
Of the two, the U.S. is much larger, at about $31 trillion, with China at $19 trillion.

If we skip the next three economiesโ€”Germany, India, and Japanโ€”then the entire rest of the world (184 countries), also has an economic output of around $50 trillion.
Which means that despite the rise of regional trade, there is no escaping one of the two economic giants. Groups 2025 GDP(in Millions) ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ U.S. & ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ China $49,739 ๐ŸŒ 184 Countries $50,381 ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany, ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India, ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japan $13,118
Note: Figures are rounded to the closest trillion in the visualization. China's figures do not include Hong Kong or Macao.
The U.S. is the world's largest importer of consumer goods, and China is the largest exporter. Most of the world picks one of these two as their largest trading partner.
So even when countries might not enjoy the geopolitics of both countries, their economic might effectively makes them the loudest voice in the room.

Iran Admits US Airstrikes Destroyed Nuclear Facilities

Iran's foreign minister confirmed this week that U.S. airstrikes left the country's nuclear facilities 'destroyed' but said Iran would continue to enrich uranium. This comes about a month after three facilities were targeted. 'Our facilities have been damaged, seriously damaged, the extent of which is now under evaluation,' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed in a Fox News 'Special Report' interview on July 21. Later in the interview, Araghchi conceded that 'the facilities have been destroyed,' referring to nuclear enrichment sites that were targeted by the U.S. military on June 22. President Donald Trump authorized the strikes amid a nearly two-week aerial war between Iran and Israel. U.S. officials and Trump have said that strikes carried out by B-2 stealth bombers destroyed Iran's ability to enrich uranium at three sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Several intelligence assessments have been leaked to the media suggesting otherwise, however, drawing pushback from Trump and others. In a post on Truth Social on July 21, Trump responded to the Araghchi interview on Fox News and again said that reports claiming the United States didn't destroy the sites are false. Trump also warned that the U.S. military could launch more strikes if needed. 'Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, on the Iran Nuclear Sites: 'Damages are very severe, they are destroyed.' Of course they are, just like I said, and we will do it again, if necessary! As interviewed by Bret Baier,' Trump wrote on social media. The president added that CNN and other media outlets should 'apologize' to him and 'the great pilots' following the strikes, which he said 'OBLITERATED' Iran's facilities. In the Fox News interview, Araghchi said that Tehran will not abandon its nuclear program. 'It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously, we cannot give up [on] enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride,' the foreign minister said. Before the conflict in June, Tehran and Washington held five rounds of nuclear talks mediated by Oman but could not agree on the extent to which Iran should be allowed to enrich uranium. Israel and Washington say Iran was close to enriching to levels that would allow it to quickly produce a nuclear weapon. Tehran says its enrichment program is for civilian purposes only. U.S. ally Israel launched strikes on Iran on June 13, and the two nations then engaged in an air war for 12 days in which Washington also bombed Iran's nuclear facilities. A cease-fire was reached in late June. Araghchi also said that Iran's top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was in 'good health' and that Tehran was open to talks with Washington, but that those will not be direct 'for the time being.' Iran will meet with France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in Istanbul on July 25 to discuss the country's nuclear program, a spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said earlier this week. The talks will take place at the deputy ministerial level, a spokesman said. Reuters contributed to this report.

Iranian Officials Fear Israeli Sabotage

A month after the Trump-declared ceasefire between Iran and Israel which ended the 12-day war, officials in Iran are increasingly concerned that Israeli intelligence may be engaged in covert sabotage operations on Iranian soil. Iran has for over two weeks been experiencing a wave of unexplained fires and explosions, occurring almost daily, and sometimes multiple times a day. While Iranian authorities have officially publicly blamed these incidents on outdated gas infrastructure, industrial accidents involving improper handling of gas containers, or faulty water heaters and electrical wiring, many within Iran's leadership privately suspect Israeli involvement, according to The New York Times . 'For more than two weeks, mysterious explosions and fires have erupted across Iran, setting ablaze apartment complexes and oil refineries, a road outside a major airport and even a shoe factory,' the Times report begins. The issue of ageing infrastructure, also after years of US-led sanctions, has been widely blamed โ€“ but 'in private, three Iranian officials, including a member of the country's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, said they believed that many of them were acts of sabotage.' For another example offered in the Times : Publicly, Iran has sought to explain away the fires. In some cases, such as the blaze in northeast Iran near Mashhad International Airport, Iranian officials said they were conducting 'controlled burning of weeds,' and they attributed a fire in Tehran to a garbage fire. Yet another strange occurrence involved explosion in an empty residential building in Tehran which injured seven people; however, follow-up official reports from state media and the Tehran Fire Department kept hidden the identities of the injured. This raised questions: was it a covert targeted attack on government or military officials? Other recent fires in Tehran have just been written off in state sources as typical gas explosions or gas-related accidents. The city's fire department has referenced 'worn-out equipment, the use of substandard gas appliances and disregard for safety principles' โ€“ in recent instances. And for further examples which seem straight out of a Hollywood spy thriller: In Qom, one apartment building looked as if a bomb had ripped through it. Walls of a first-floor unit were brought down, their windows shattered. A yellow taxi parked on the street was crushed under rubble, according to videos of the blast published on social media and BBC Persian. The force of the blast, which injured seven people, covered the entire surrounding block in debris. The unit that exploded, two of the Iranian officials told The New York Times, appeared to have been rented by operatives who had left the building after turning on the stove and oven gas, as if to deliberately spark a blaze. Another potentially similar case was an explosion in a high-rise compound in Tehran, which offers discounted housing to employees of the judiciary. The explosion blew out walls and windows. The three Iranian officials said they believed that saboteurs might have wanted to stoke panic among judges and prosecutors that they could be targeted, similar to the way Israel previously attacked scientists involved in Iran's nuclear program. Iranian citizens who live in central Iran in the vicinity of missile bases and nuclear facilities are feeling 'scared and paranoid' as a result of both the recent war and the spate of mystery explosions. ๐Ÿ“… ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜† ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ผ๐˜€: ๐—œ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป, ๐—๐˜‚๐—น๐˜† ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐ŸฑFive blasts and fires across Iran's four provinces in just 9 days:โ–ช๏ธ 14 Jul โ€“ Explosion at Qom residential complexโ–ช๏ธ 14 Jul โ€“ Fire on Enghelab St, Tehranโ–ช๏ธ 19 Jul โ€“ Abadan Oil Refinery blazeโ–ช๏ธ 20 Jul โ€“โ€ฆ โ€” Iran & Afghanistan Monitor (@WarMonitorlive) July 23, 2025 Some believe these are Israeli-sponsored operations aimed at dialing up the pressure on Iranian leadership, even as the ceasefire holds. It is now well-documented that many of the Iranian scientists and military officials killed last month were assassinated in operations conducted from within Iran. As Israel sent warplanes over the skies, intelligence ground ops were unleashed, involving car bombings, drone attacks, and sabotage bombings.

Authorities have not confirmed the โ€” Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) July 23, 2025 This doesn't mean these operations were done directly by Israeli officers, instead it's believed that Mossad has a network of Iranian assets, particularly among the outlawed People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) โ€“ which is currently based in Europe and has long sought to topple the Islamic Republic. The MEK has also long enjoyed the political backing of powerful US officials, and is known have conducted assassinations of Iranian figures in the past. Some MEK members are Iranian citizens, which would allow them ease of getting in and out of the country โ€“ something Israelis could not do.

Ex-President Barack Obama Facing Serious Criminal Charges

DNIGabbard said on Wednesday that she was referring former President Barack Obama for criminal charges to the Department of Justice (DOJ). 'We have referred and will continue to refer all these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate the criminal implications of this,' Gabbard said. 'The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment,' she continued. 'There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.' Update (1007ET): And here it is โ€“ DNI Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday released more damning evidence against the Obama administration, which she says exposes how they 'manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election.' 'In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie, in order to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a years-long coup against him.' According to Gabbard, 'Here are the top Obama Russia Hoax lies debunked by today's release.' LIE: Putin and the Russian Government helped Trump win the 2016 electionTRUTH: President Obama, former Director of the CIA John Brennan, and others fabricated the Russia Hoax, suppressed intelligence showing Putin was preparing for a Clinton victory, manufactured findings from shoddy sources, disobeyed IC standards, and knowingly lied to the American people. LIE: The fabricated Steele Dossier was not used as a source in the Obama Administration's January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment of the November 2016 electionTRUTH: Not only did CIA Director Brennan, FBI Director Comey, DNI Clapper and others include the Steele Dossier in the 2017 ICA, they overruled senior Intel officials who warned them it was fabricated and should not be used. LIE: The Obama Administration's January ICA was an independent Intelligence Community product, produced with apolitical Obama ordered the Intelligence Community to create an Intelligence Community Assessment they knew was false, promoting a contrived narrative, with the intent of undermining the legitimacy and power of a duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump. Together, the @ODNIgov records released on Friday, the @TheJusticeDept's June 2018 report known as the 'Clinton annex' released earlier this week, and the @HouseIntel oversight report we released today confirm what many Americans have known: The Russia Hoax was a lie that was knowingly created by the Obama Administration to undermine the legitimacy and power of the duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump * * * Barack Obama's team is in full damage control mode after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified and released evidence that Obama and his top officials in his administration knowingly fabricated intelligence to push the false narrative that Trump was compromised by Russiaโ€”an operation designed to delegitimize his election and kneecap his ability to govern. On Tuesday, Barack Obama released a statement through a spokesman in response to the recent release of Russiagate documents implicating the former president in the effort to delegitimize Trump's presidency. 'Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,' the statement read. 'But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.' But, Gabbard isn't backing down. In an appearance on 'Rob Schmitt Tonight' on Newsmax Tuesday, she announced that her team will be releasing documents that directly contradict Barack Obama's latest attempt to rewrite the history of the Russia collusion hoax. 'We will be releasing further documents tomorrow that will refute that statement,' Gabbard said, dismissing the statement outright as part of pattern of misinformation pushed by top Democrats and their allies in the media ever since the release of what she called the 'manufactured intelligence document' in January 2017. She didn't stop there. 'We will be pulling a whole host of statements that were made by the Obama administration, by Hillary Clinton, by senior Democrat officials, by their friends in the media,' she said. 'They state over and over again after this January 2017 manufactured intelligence document was created that repeat the narrative.' Gabbard laid out a damning list of examples. 'The New York Times says, 'Russian hackers acted to aid Trump in the election,'' she quoted. 'Obama's CIA Director John Brennan says, 'There is strong consensus among usโ€ฆ to support the CIA claim Russian hackers aided Donald Trump's election.'' And of course, Hillary Clinton's infamous refrain: 'I would be president if not for the Russian hackers supporting Donald Trump.' 'There is a vast body of evidence and intelligence that debunks and refutes this statement you've just read and others coming from some of the Democrat leaders in Congress today,' Gabbard concluded. ๐Ÿšจ BREAKING: DNI Tulsi Gabbard just said *TOMORROW* she is releasing more Trump-Russia 2016 Hoax Files that directly "REFUTE" Barack Hussein Obama's statement smokes, Tulsi came ready."We will be releasing further documents tomorrow that will REFUTE thatโ€ฆ โ€” Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) July 22, 2025 With more documents expected to drop soon, Gabbard is making it clear she intends to expose the Obama-era narrative for what it wasโ€”an orchestrated political operation designed to undercut the legitimacy of a duly elected president. Now that the truth is starting to trickle out, the Obama crowd is sweatingโ€”and for good reason. Tulsi Gabbard's document drops are pulling back the curtain on what looks like a coordinated effort by Obama and his top brass to sabotage a duly elected president using fake intelligence and a complicit media echo chamber. The phony Russia narrative was a deliberate attempt to delegitimize Trump before he even took the oath. And now, the evidence is catching up. No matter how hard Obama's lackeys try to spin it, accountability is coming. And they know it. The walls are closing in on Obama's deep state operativesโ€”finally!
