Russia has always used the PPP GDP calculation method, and China ranks first in Russia's GDP calculation, with an amount of 38 trillion US dollars, far exceeding the United States' 29 trillion US dollars. However, India is really impressive, rising to third place, reaching a level of 16 trillion US dollars. Russia is fourth, which is a very strong position, allowing it to be among the top four in the world ranking, which is the fundamental reason for Russia's use of the PPP method to calculate the economy!

The top twenty countries in GDP include our country, Japan, Germany, and France's GDP calculations. Basically, there is no exaggeration. While the GDP calculations of countries such as the United States, India, the United Kingdom, and the big Russia have a lot of exaggeration. I hope China continues to use the lowest calculation method to calculate GDP, being content with being the second-largest economy. Currently, no country can challenge China's position as the second-largest economy, and China doesn't need to surpass the United States on paper.

The PPP calculation method is based on industry and technology; otherwise, you would see Indonesia and India both making the list. It is possible that Russia may actually live a more comfortable life than Japan. With self-sufficient agricultural products, dairy products, meat, and other food supplies, they can even outperform Japan. In recent years, by closely aligning with a major power, the light industrial products are of high quality and low price, which Japan does not have this kind of experience.

This way of calculating the economy in Russia is not widely used around the world. Because in this case, it seems not to reflect the real economic level. Especially since India has risen to 16 trillion US dollars, ranking third in the world, it can be seen that this data is indeed not very accurate, because although India's economic development has started to take off, it is still relatively backward.

If India is considered third in the world, then other European and American countries will find it even harder to maintain their stance. Therefore, it is still better to follow our old method, calculating the economy by GDP, which is relatively fair. Because in terms of strength, our comprehensive national strength has not completely surpassed the United States, especially in military and political aspects, we have not reached the level of the United States. In terms of the economy, we might sometimes be a bit behind, so being ranked second should not be a big problem.

No matter what, Russia has its own calculation method, which is their problem. Maintaining the dignity of a major power is also a way, so each has its own way of slaughtering pigs. If Russia has its own ideas, then let them do it their way. We will not oppose it, this is the fact.
