Wikipedia has IMF estimates for 2012 through 2016
In 2012, China's economy on a nominal GDP basis will be over half the size of the US economy. The last time that happened was 1987 to 1997 when Japan was over half of the size of the US economy. In 1993, Japan got as close as 65% of the size of the US economy.
China and India economies are underestimated using the IMF PPP calculation. University of Pennsylvania would adjust upward China's PPP by 20% and India's by 15%.
Credit Suisse has estimated that China has about 30% more GDP in hidden economy.
