These are China's own (conservative) estimates by 2035:

Note that the $5.9 trillion projection quoted below has to be a real number, not a nominal number. If it is a nominal projection, that only implies about 3.3% nominal growth from now till 2030, which would be even lower than projection inflation in 2007.

Quote:
China's GDP (nominal), expected to be about $2.8 trillion in 2007, is forecast to grow to about $5.9 trillion in 2030 and $6.7 trillion in 2035. (In comparison, U.S. GDP in 2007 is about $14 trillion.) By 2030-2035, the economic growth rate is forecast to decrease to about 2% to 5% per year. Western economists, almost unanimously, forecast a much higher GDP for China. The Chinese researchers are quite aware of foreigners' forecasts, but still stick to their own numbers, which they freely admit are conservative.

In retrospect, these GDP projections were way, way too conservative.
