China overtakes Japan as world's second-biggest economy (will overtake US in decade)

From the BBC:

Japan's economy was worth $5.474 trillion (�3.42 trillion) at the end of 2010. China's economy was closer to $5.8 trillion in the same period.

China has enjoyed a manufacturing boom, while Japan has been hit by a drop in exports and consumer demand.

At its current rate of growth, analysts see China overtaking the US as the world's top economy in about a decade.
