It is predicted within the next century/half century, but it could happen much sooner, link provided:

I'm still a bit skeptical on the whole 'China Rising' issue....
The Chinese are rising yes, their surplus is huge yes, but when a child grows, it may grow 10% for a few years, but does it keep growing that way?
Also, you have to take into account the enormous technological advantage we have and how we can use this to overcome their mass, slave labour system. When we figure out energy self-suffiency and have robots building everything, how can the Chinese, neigh anyone compete?
If we use our superior monetary resources this could happen by the time I'm 30.
With this in mind, one can see how China and Russia would sink away......
