GDP

GDP numbers (PPP), (currency), during 2003. $50.4 trillion, per person that's $8000(50.4/0.0063).

Per capita GDP growth rates: [1] set the 1950 PPP GDP at $6.8 trillion, [2] set the population at 2,555,360,972, that makes the per capita GDP $2,661 in 1950, compared with 2003 there's a 201% increase, that's 2.1% a year (2661*x^53=8000).

Since 1993s $6,599 (36.5/5,531,014,635) it's 1.9% a year (6599*1.9^10=8000). As a comparison, the IMF database put the PPP GDP at $30 trillion during 1993 ([3]), that's $5,424 per person (30/5.531). That's a 4.0% per year growth rate (5424*1.04^10=8000) - Jerryseinfeld 00:38, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

More China

Yes, I noticed the discrepency about China, too. Wikipedia's article on largest economies, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world%27s_largest_economies

lists China as the sixth largest, while this article says it is second. This may be due to difficulty in measuring China's economy. Does anyone have a source we can quote? Carax 02:51, 8 July 2005 (UTC)

Import / export numbers are totally fucked up

# Yearly exports: $1.1 trillion (f.o.b., 2002 est.)

# Yearly imports: $2.5 trillion (f.o.b., 2002 est.)

These two numbers are by definition exactly equal. Actually, due to various accounting issues they might differ by a few %, but this is just ridiculous.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.120.104 (talk) 05:52, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
