I am a bit surprised... 

[sgbuffett]

China finally surpassed Malaysia but its economic growth of last few years.slowed to around 5%.

Malaysia grew at 5.1% in 2024 faster than China.

So dont expect China to run too far ahead of Malaysia.
..likely both countries per capita income will be roughly the same in coming yrs.

[Levin]

Wow, I know that they are are about the same a few years back at 10k+ per capita. I think it has more to do with Malaysia having negative growth in at least one year since.

[lylcnn]

Wow indeed...at PPP, it's even more higher than MY

Malaysia's population growth rate is much higher than China.

So, even if nominal GDP of both countries grow at the same rate, Malaysia's per capita GDP will still fall further behind China.

Malaysia's population is estimated to have grown by 1.9% in 2024,

China's population growth rate is currently negative. Specifically, it is estimated to be around -0.10%.

Should also look at gdp per capital ppp. This is the real income and purchasing comparison of its citizens. GDP per capital includes all infrastructures and buildings which China invested heavily in recent years and many of which gone wasted resulting ghost cities. They r dumping money to get GDP.

Data indicates  the Chinese is actually accelerating the income gap from M'sian now over US$1500, difference. 

Using World Bank definition, this means M'sia is now a lower middle-income country and China is upper-middle-income.

Question is who is more likely to escape the  Middle Income Trap and reach the higher-income status at min  GNI per capita above US$13,845... 

• China: $13,390
  
• Malaysia: $11,710
  
• Singapore: $70,590

Errr... we know some love to see China suffer the same fate as Japan, which had its own property bubble going burst in 1990s...
The problem with this blind assumption is they forget unlike China, the Jap gov was also forced to increase its Yen vs USD valuation by +100% while it remains highly dependent on US market. China on the other hand is the totally different animal - The Dragon has its own agency, the political will and monetary firepower to control (remember the PRC is a "communist" country) bloated assets...

Guess what did the Chines gov tell whose businesses in the property sectors ?  - " Go clear your own sh!t ! "

china has all the development in new things, solar, wind, platform, cloud, AI, robots, low altitude economy, etc.

malaysia new development no heard of yet. still stuck in the manufacturing, raw material etc.

singapore not much better. just same same with some advance development things and feel like starting to live on old money.

Cannot compare lah.  "old money" only exist in economies that fail to reform with the change of time.
Best e.g. society that weights under the old system off "old money" are likes of HK SAR, much of Western countries and even M'sia itself.
The later can be easily seen in the well-connected tycoons or "Tan Sri and the entitled "Bumiputra"" ruling class. 

SG cannot effort such social compact, that is why the Little Red dot is governed so differently from M'sia....
Best evidence of why SG succeed is yes, China...If Deng had decided to borrow KL practices, we would not have the Chinese GDP per capital overtaking pple from across the Causeway.

Jp did not quickly develop sectors, like planes, cars, software, web site, telco equipment, weapons on its own. 
Moving up the value chain is important if want to increase income.

Last week, Li Qiang WEF speech in Tianjin alluded that China will escape  the middle-income trap by moving towards high-incoming nation. 

CHINESE Premier Li Qiang has declared that China is steadily progressing towards achieving high-income country status, citing a robust demand for consumption and sustained economic growth. Speaking at the opening of the 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions—widely referred to as Summer Davos—in Tianjin on Wednesday, Li said: “China is confident in and capable of maintaining rapid economic growth.”
He emphasised that the country is evolving into a “super-sized consumption powerhouse,” building on its already formidable industrial base as a global manufacturing hub.

“Without reforms, M’sia risks deepening its middle-income trap and losing more skilled workers to neighbouring economies...The result is a diminished purchasing power that disproportionately affects low-and middle-income households" said Universiti Teknologi Mara Academy of SME and Entrepreneurship Development coordinator Dr Mohamad Idham Md Razak.
