A general approximation in business is that the non-US market is 5-8x the US market. So if the world market is only 9x the China market, I'd consider that a very big deal.

Is that an approximation for US businesses?

Yeah - used to (once you've worked out the size of the US market) get a vague feel for the international possibilities. Very rough first-order approximation.
