"China's nominal gross domestic product is unlikely to surpass that of the U.S. in the next few decades."

"This idea of China becoming the world's biggest economy may not happen, actually."

"China probably won't ever overtake the US economy on a sustained basis."

"The likelihood of the prediction that China's GDP will one day overtake that of the U.S. is declining."

"China is forecast to overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest economy by around 2035."

"China will overtake the US as the world's top economy in about 2035 with a high probability."

"[T]he size of China's economy in USD terms will overtake the US in 2028."

"China will overtake the United States to become the world's biggest economy in 2028."

Will China's GDP Overtake the US, And If So When?

The European Commission fined Chinese online retailer Temu €200 million ($232 million) under the Digital Services Act on Thursday after a nearly two-year investigation found the platform failed to prevent the sale of illegal and unsafe products to EU consumers.

An independent mystery shopping exercise conducted on behalf of the commission found a very high percentage of chargers sold on Temu failed basic safety tests, while a high percentage of baby toys posed medium to high safety risks due to excess chemicals or detachable parts.

The commission also found that Temu's 2024 risk assessment failed to account for how its recommender systems and influencer-led promotional programmes could amplify the spread of illegal products, a dimension investigators said the company had not properly examined.

Temu called the fine "disproportionate" and said the decision relates to its first DSA assessment in 2024 and "does not reflect the current state" of its systems, adding that it has since taken steps to strengthen risk assessment, platform governance and user protection.

The Temu penalty is the second-ever issued under the DSA, which has applied to the world's largest tech platforms since February 2024. It follows a €120 million fine issued to Elon Musk's X last December over deceptive verification badges and advertising transparency failures.

Temu has until Aug. 28, 2026, to submit an action plan to the commission outlining how it will remedy its risk-assessment failures. Failure to comply could result in periodic penalty payments, and separate investigations into addictive design and illegal product sales are ongoing.
