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".

Okay, but that was not your original comment.

My original comment was to compare China's GDP per capita with the U.S. GDP per capita.

So instead of it being a $4,400 vs. $37,000 comparison, it was a $5,000 vs. $37,000 comparison.

My point remains the same.
