Like you I don't know if they are accurate and the author doesn't state his source or the age of his data.

Hi,
China's GDP is definitely not double that of the USA.
World bank figures for 2013 have GDP's
USA USD 16.8 trillion
China USD 9.2 trillion
China's growth has been running much higher than the USA these past 2 years 7.3% vs 2.2% but this 5% difference not nearly enough to close the gap let alone make it double that of the USA.
The figures are probably a bit off, depends how old the diagram is.
