Is China’s economy bigger than the US economy?

Yes, it is. If you believe the CIA Factbook, then it’s a winner by a significant margin – more than $1.5 trillion.

Granted, the comparison uses Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) to make this claim. But you know… apples to apples, right?

The current league table (in trillions of USD) based on 2015 estimates of GDP (PPP), as prepared by the US Central Intelligence Agency, is:

  1. China $19.51
  2. EU $19.18
  3. US $17.97
  4. India $8.027
  5. Japan $4.658
