They have the second biggest economy (to the USA) however there are a billion of them to share that money aruond, and given that some regions are richer than others it means that the other regions are still very very poor.
Indeed. How about a peak at energy consumption;
Average home electrical consumption per person per year
USA - 4517 kWh/year
UK - 1985 kWh/year
China - 433kWh/year
