Such is not the case with the RMB - there is a fixed exchange rate.

I've found another CIA source that gives the GDP of China in 2003 to be $5,000 per capita "measured on a purchasing power parity basis".

GDP per capita in the U.S. in 2003 was around $37,000.

China has a long way to go before they have an equivalent GDP to ours. IMV, they will never do it without a large evolution toward freedom. A country that is highly free is not a danger to other countries.
