United States and China now are the biggest economies in the world. It is expected that in 2015 or 2016 China economy will overtake the economy of United Satates and become the biggest economy in the world if calculate Gross domestic product based on purchasing-power-parity (PPP) valuation of country GDP (see the report of International Monetary Fund). Since 2015 economy of China is the biggest economy in the world.
If we calculate GDP of China basing on official exchange rate (in current USD as World Bank do that) to compare US and China GDP, we get the following picture:
