China's per capita GDP is close to $10,000.

Judge as of 2020-02-07 against the latest figure then available, China's 2019 nominal GDP per capita in US dollars (World Bank/IMF/NBS). True: the figure is within about ±10% of $10,000 (roughly $9,000–11,000). Mostly true: within about ±15%. Mostly false: within about ±25% but outside ±15%. False: further off than that. Use nominal USD; if only PPP is quoted, note that PPP (about $16,000+) would not support the claim.

1. E1 China's economy expands 6.1% in 2019, in line with official target english.www.gov.cn (Chinese government portal; article reports NBS figures) · 18 January 2020

   “China's per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in the past year stood at 70,892 yuan or $10,276, breaking through the $10,000 mark for the first time in history”

2. E2 China's GDP per capita passed $10,000 in 2019, but what does this mean? CGTN · 17 January 2020

   “China's GDP per capita reached 70,892 yuan (10,276 U.S. dollars) in 2019, passing the 10,000 U.S. dollars benchmark”

E1 (China's government portal, reporting National Bureau of Statistics figures) and E2 (CGTN) both say China's 2019 GDP per capita was 70,892 yuan, or $10,276. Both were published in January 2020, before the claim was made. That figure is within about 3% of $10,000, well inside the ±10% range the criteria set for true. Both sources pass on official Chinese statistics, but neither comes from the subject, and they agree.
