Not sure if this link will work for everyone but is interesting

IIRC China historically had about 30% of the worlds GDP in the 1800-1900's, which shrunk to ~5% during the 1950-70's and has been creeping upwards dramatically again. China has historically been a global economic powerhouse it is simply regaining its former form...you can try this link

I read that it is estimated that China's GDP per Capita (at purchasing power parity...i.e. a value that normalizes the amount it costs to buy things in different countries) will overtake the US's by 2025ish...what was scarier was that they were expecting the absolute GDP per person for China to overtake the US's by 2050ish...

[Kent Brockman voice] I for one welcome our new mandarin overlords...

Hey Slava how are the Mandarin lessons going?
