Now tell me, what makes you think the US has the best economy in the world?
China is still a developing nation, and does not yet have the economic power of the USA. Nations like Japan, Saudia Arabia are very wealthy, but the economy is just not comparable. If you were in charge of sales for an international company, which market would you most like to have access to?

American's are the world's largest consumers. Here's another quote from the paper I referenced for you above:

"Higher GDP per capita allows the average American to spend about $9,700 more on consumption every year than the average European. So Yanks have by far more cars, TVs, computers and other modern goods. "Most Americans have a standard of living which the majority of Europeans will never come anywhere near," the Swedish study says."
