Assuming your 3% number is correct (which I cannot find a source for), China's yearly gains will outpace ours in just under 10 years, overtaking us in raw GDP in 50 years.
That's taking your figures exactly, that is. I highly doubt Chinese GDP growth is at 3%. They might not be able to sustain 8%+ for much longer, but even a 6% annual growth would make their economy larger than the US's in under 13 years, with their annual $ addition to their economy already outpacing ours.
