Huh Ah. Japan had just again became the second largest world economy because of the growth in the Yen after allegedly losing that to China for a couple of quarters. Congratulations to Japan! The World's Second Largest Economy.
That is a giant relief to us Chinese. Please from now on, whatever you are asking, please go ask the world's first and second largest economies. Or even the world's 11th largest such as India, who still sports the world's greatest democracy.
In the meantime, off the limelight, we Chinese should keep on doing some serious damage to our miserly annual $3800US income. Seriously, please don't ask us anything more. We can consider coming back to the table if and when our income had gotten to something like $20,000US. Mind you that is still just about half of you make annually.
Hope it is a better world in 2011. (With our burden of second this, second that off!)
