Chinas GDP is higher than that of the US if you take Purchasing power parity into account.[0] [0] - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PP

  China has a huge population so Per person China's GDP is much lower even including PPP. Per capita GDP depends on things like natural resources and corruption levels. So China is likely to lag behind on that measure long term, still they plenty of room for improvement.

  No it isn’t. Also, PPP is a dumb metric, many things in China beyond services and food are much more expensive than they are in the USA.
