Example Citation:
'Chindia' is threatening the world's economic pecking order. The 'China-India' juggernaut will be a $16 trillion economy — on a 'nominal' basis — by 2020, predicts CLSA, a leading international securities research firm. ...
Here are some CLSA projections of what is to come: By 2020, Chindia will have one-third of the world mobile subscribers and a $100 billion mobile handset market. Its packaged food market size will be $480 billion, which is one and a half times the present US market and five and a half times the present United Kingdom market. The aggregate of bank loans in Chindia will be $9 trillion in 2020 — twice the current GDP of Japan.
