Is that supposed to be menacing, being reminded? And if it becomes twice America's, their population is currently more than three times America's, so it's not the brag you seem to think it is. Not that GDP is how countries should measure their economic dicks anyway.

It's a big deal when their PPPGDPPC in 1950 was 50 USD. In 1990 they were poorer per capita than Afghanistan, Cambodia, DR Congo, Ghana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, The Philippines, Sudan, Zimbabwe. Both where they were then and also where they are now in the cases where they've gotten poorer.
