I hope you don't think that US GDP has to go down by 50% for the effect to be noticeable. As a recent comparison, in early 1990's recession US real GDP dipped just 2%, in the major recession of 1982, it went down 4%. In the Great Depression of 1930 - 1942 US real GNP went down all of 13%.
Currently, Japanese GDP is down 5 - 6% (so far).

Don,
For China's GDP, you have to mulitiply by two. Because about 50% of China's
economic activities is underground, and never recorded by the government. The Japanese government realize that.
