China Just Overtook The US As The World's Largest Economy

Sorry, America. China just overtook the US to become the world's largest economy, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Chris Giles at the Financial Times flagged up the change. He also alerted us in April that it was all about to happen.

Basically, the method used by the IMF adjusts for purchasing power parity, explained here.

The simple logic is that prices aren't the same in each country: A shirt will cost you less in Shanghai than in San Francisco, so it's not entirely reasonable to compare countries without taking this into account. Though a typical person in China earns a lot less than the typical person in the US, simply converting a Chinese salary into dollars underestimates how much purchasing power that individual, and therefore that country, might have. The Economist's Big Mac Index is a great example of these disparities.

So the IMF measures both GDP in market-exchange terms and in terms of purchasing power. On the purchasing-power basis, China is overtaking the US right about now and becoming the world's biggest economy.

That's the price you pay for wealth, you got people who live in terrible conditions.

Skid Row, Africa, China... But that's what our race is all about, trying to get ahead. Economic growth will continue to be a hot debate, but I don't see humanity ever coming to a resolve where people can be treated equally while still gaining money.

They have improved a lot in the last 20 years but there are "so many" of them that in per capita terms they will still need many more years to catch up with developed countries...


Maybe they should implement the one child rule again.
