Should it be 'GDP' instead of 'the GDP' below, shouldn't it?
In 2 years, China will be with GDP (of only mainland) of 4.5 trillion USD (the world’s 2nd economy). It’s the pride of every Chinese.

If something is wrong for this logic, maybe we sit together with May for a solution.

Hi,

In 2 years, mainland China will have a GDP of  4.5 trillion USD (making it the world’s 2nd-largest economy).  This is the pride of every Chinese person. (better to say Everyone in China is proud of this.)

If something is wrong with this logic, maybe we can meet with May to find a solution.

Best wishes, Clive
