Per capita this doesn't seem as terrible. Is that the wrong way to look at this?

China has ~1.38 billion people USA- ~326 million

Yeah but I guess what is remarkable is the trajectory from 1990 to 2018

It's been a very predictable trajectory. I recall reading in the mid 90s, as a high school student an op-ed that anticipated China's GDP to exceed America's sometime in the early 2020s. They're right on course to do that.

Okay, but the debt to GDP ratio is much higher in china. See my previous article, China 168% of gdp, us 45% of gdp.
