The World Bank's latest economic forecast shows that the overall global growth outlook has been downgraded, but two major economies have received upward revisions.

The US economy performed relatively well. It is expected that the GDP growth rate will reach 2.2% in 2026, an increase from the 2.1% forecast for 2025, and a significant upward revision of 0.6 percentage points from the 1.6% expected in June 2025. This positive adjustment reflects the resilience of the US economy.

In China, the data shows a mixed picture. The GDP growth forecast for 2026 is 4.4%, slightly lower than the 4.9% expected for 2025, but noticeably higher than the 4% forecast in June last year. This indicates that global recognition of China's economic growth potential is gradually rebounding.

Compared to the overall pressure on global economic growth, the differing revision margins of the US and China, as the world's two largest economic engines, also reflect their respective paths of economic structural adjustment.

The US's 2.2% growth rate is still being hyped up, but China's 4.4% is the real strength.

The 0.6 percentage point increase in the US is a bit showy. Compared to China's 0.4 percentage point, it seems a bit... well, how should I put it, each going their own way.

The US is steady at 2.2%, while our 4.4%, although slightly lowered, still crushes it. Other parts of the world are really lagging behind.

USA +0.6, although China has lowered it, it is also moving upward. The two main engines pulling together remain stable.

The increase here in the US is pretty good. China's 4.4% still feels a bit虚... But speaking of which, the two big players are still adjusting and rising under pressure worldwide. This game of chess is interesting. Is the World Bank's forecast accurate? It seems like they keep changing it back and forth. There's still plenty of room for China's rebound, mainly depends on whether they can stabilize later. Is 2.2% in the US considered good? Compared to the rapid growth rates in the past, it's laughable...

ngl, these world bank revisions are just moving goalposts at this point... what's the actual proof of mechanism here? show me the underlying data structures, not the smoothed narrative.

Hmm... U.S. stocks are about to take off again. China's 4.4% looks okay, but it's really interesting how the two corrections have such a large difference in magnitude.
