The Economist — China will become the world's largest economy by the end of the year

China will become the world's largest economy by the end of the year.

Until 1890 China was the world’s largest economy, before America surpassed it. By the end of 2014 China is on track to reclaim its crown.

This is due not to relative growth recently but a refiguring of PPP.
