China is doing miserably？

Back in the real world, China's total national GDP will exceed the US in 2017 based on PPP valuation. China is still rapidly catching up to the first world in living standards. The Tier-1 cities are already there, China is now developing its poorer interior. In the next 25 years, China will move another 400 million people from rural areas into cities. Reality: China's population four times that of the USA. The USA is the past, China is the future.
