No, there is a reasonable (IMO >1%) chance China could overtake the USA or EU in the next ten years.

I'm a little confused what you're predicting. China is already the 2nd biggest economy, my understanding was, unless the EU is counted as a single economy. So your 99% prediction is actually 'China will not become the world's largest economy and will remain #2/#3'?
