Its actually an accounting trick. GDP is measured and compared in USD. Euro is gaining in price against USD, Yuan is losing value against the dollar.
So EU economy is richer in dollar terms than China economy, but not necessarily in labour-hour terms or whatever.

Still, very funny, given how China cope is that yes, they may be oppressed in a totalitarian shithole, and yes, they may have under 1 fertility rate, and yes, maybe people get randomly kidnapped by the communist party, b-b-b-b-but at least they grow the economy!!!
Meanwhile, the impotent EU managerial class pseudo government is doing at least as well, depsite EU average IQ being more than a standard diviation under China, and half the population.
