China's share of the global economy has decreased since 2022

Bad news for China?

"China has taken pride in its explosive growth over the decades, but now, its economy is falling behind.

 

The country’s share of the global economy has decreased, ending 2025 at around 16.5%. That’s now less than two-thirds the size of the U.S. economy, according to IMF data. Domestic deflation, which reduces the value of goods in the economy, and a weak yuan have zapped the relative size of China’s economy as measured in dollar terms. "
