Mfs seem to have forgotten that Chinese GDP PPP is already higher than the US

    China's GDP PPP is something like $24 trillion and the US is like $18 trillion.. something along those lines I heard recently

      Depending on who's measuring. China is significantly ahead regardless of source though

        That was from the IMF which is owned by the US... I don't think they'd report it if there was any way they could spin it.

        It looks like China overtook the US in 2017 for GDP PPP

        Also I was wrong, it looks like the current numbers are China 19 trillion, US 15.5 trillion but I'm pretty sure I heard those original numbers somewhere recently
