>> Thailand has a PPP of 3x China.

> Where are you getting this? I'm no economist, but based on a simple search and data from wikipedia [1], your number seems wildly incorrect.

Ah jeez https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/PA.NUS.PPP?locations=TH... is what I was using but I'm by no means competent in this. Was supposed to be citatation 3 but fell off it seems.

That's not PPP GDP per capita. This is the statistic you're looking for: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?locat.... China just passed Thailand in PPP GDP/capita in 2021.
