China’s GDP grew 8.7% to 33.5 trillion yuan in 2009.
The World Bank is forecasting China’s GDP growth in 2010 to be 9.5% Inflation will reach 3.5‐4 percent on average in 2010.
The yuan is expected to appreciate to about 6.6 to 6.7 to the US dollar by the end of 2010
Looking at an expected range of exchange rates and GDP growth estimates:
33.5 trillion * 1.095 growth / 1.35 billion @ 6.7 exchange rate
would be $4055 per capita
This is higher than the $3856 cutoff and has some room for inflation adjustment of the 2008 number.
33.5 trillion * 1.1 growth / 1.35 billion @6.6 exchange rate would be $4135 per capita
33.5 trillion * 1.105 growth / 1.35 billion @6.5 exchange rate would be $4219 per capita
There is a 2010 business and population census in China. This could lead to an adjustment in estimated population and a new estimate of GDP.
China should become a high income country in 2016-2017 assuming 9% annual GDP growth and the yuan appreciating to about 3.5 yuan to the US dollar. It is also assumed that China’s population will peak in 2026 at about 1.4 billion people (US Census Bureau estimate)
