They are a much larger country. At about 15k gdp per capita, they'll match our gdp... and that's just a solid middle-income country... not exceptional. As they start to exceed that, certainly that economic power will start to show itself globally.
For comparison, Taiwan and South Korea are at ~$30k. That would result in a gdp 2x as large as the US (about 40T).
