Dashed: the projection from the latest reading. A projection, not a promise.

Palanor calculation from World Bank WDI (CC BY 4.0): GDP in current U.S. dollars (NY.GDP.MKTP.CD) and total population (SP.POP.TOTL, from UN World Population Prospects), each as a share of the World Bank world total. Market exchange rates. Taiwan is not in World Bank data.

Four economies' slices of world output since 1990. China rose from a small share to the second largest; Japan's shrank as its economy stalled and the yen fell. Exchange rates move these lines as much as growth does.
