Could you check my grammar?
Hi,
I am not sure which sentence is correct between "it increased about 10-fold up to $952 billion" and "it increased $952 billion up to about 10-fold".
Could you tell me which one is fine?
I hope you check the following sentence's grammar, also.
Thank you.==
In 1971, when the government first researched its economic statistics, the GDP of China was only $98 billion, but in 1997, it increased about 10-fold up to $952 billion, and in 2010, it reached up to $5.9 trillion, more than 50-fold compared to 1953.
