China Lands No. 2 in World Economy

Last Monday, China took the no. 2 spot in the world’s largest economy as the country released a GDP figure of $5.88 trillion for 2010. This makes Japan drop to no. 3 at $5.47 trillion — thanks to China’s speed in manufacturing growth.

This manufacturing growth is due to China’s expanded domestic industries and infrastructure, driven by a surge in exports. In addition to this, multinational corporation also took advantage of the low labor cost by expanding their business in the country. With continuous and steady growth, the Japanese government predicts that China will outdone US as the world’s largest economy in less than 20 years.
