Not in the same league, China grows one India in GDP every year.
Every year? That's just due to special circumstances from Covid rebound and RMB appreciating almost 10% in 2021 against the USD. The RMB has depreciated almost 10% against the USD this year. Are you going to argue that China is shrinking half the size of India every year and extrapolate?
The more appropriate way of calculating would be to first measure the increase in RMB terms and convert it to USD terms, rather than measuring the economy in USD terms and take the difference. Both are technically not wrong, but the former would be more appropriate as it is less subjected to exchange rate fluctuations.
