it's about time
Everyone saw it coming.
Twas coming but still pretty exciting. The future is teh change bro.
funny thing this is all about volume the income per capita still puts China as not even in the top 70 in the world.
This isn't change per say. China is still poor and Japan is still awesome. China just has a whole bunch of poor people so their combined income surpasses a smaller country of rich people like Japan or Germany.
China is no longer known as the sick man of Asia. I guess we can start calling Japan that now.
(Hint: 20+ years of stagnation, graying population, parasite singles)

It means China can economically (or literally) can have a nation by the balls. Yes they're still poor, but economic wealthiness means little compared to economic power. Hey! We're somehow still the most powerful economy and we've got ass-loads of poor people and we're damn near flat broke. In which fuck tons of money we owe to is none other than China.
DPRK under Great Comrade Kim Jong Il, who commands the weather will surpass China and Japan in no time.
"Global companies like Caterpillar, General Electric, General Motors and Siemens — as well as scores of others — are making a more aggressive push into China, in some cases moving research and development centers here. "
That's insanity. R&D is the only thing that's keeping Chinese companies from taking over your market and you move it to China? Lol.
China has grown so much I hardly recognize it.
However, if China could be less corrupted they might even surpass the US.
@ Extra Virgin--Looks like you beat the "GTR" guy or Gantz Playboy to it...
@ GTR Guy--And what's to be so happy about? Generally, every known "Super-Power" in history has been known for policing the world, dominating economic trade, and enormous human rights abuses. It doesn't matter if China becomes the Super-Power, its the same shit.
@ Peter Barton and Kortaku--Yeah, unfortunately.
@ tingle--Yeah, soo true. I have yet to see China export something as successful as Anime/Manga/etc. They have a long way to go.
@ At GTR guy, again--We know that but China has 10x the problems Japan has right now, especially with their dictatorship, One-Child Policy(there are more males than females), pollution, etc.
@ FilnoChan--Pretty soon, the U.S. will be on China's palms if they don't get their act together.
@ Spiritual Leader of Sankaku Complex--Hahaha. That was funny. I do feel sorry for the North Koreans to have such terrible leaders. Only time will tell if that nation ever changes.
@ Dia--All true. Also, Google seems to be back in business in China. Looks like they're just another corporation that's bent on making money..
@ uber phallus--If only that was possible. But we know that all Super-Powers have the tendency to do things, "their way." I bet you in a few years, if China ever succeeds the U.S. in a game of chess, the first thing there going to do is invade Taiwan and claim its theirs.
i think this proves america will never go to war with china. we need each other for jobs. what really ended the cold war was russian dependence on europe. it's the same thing with the US and China we need each other.
Isn't peace grand?
It's just mutually assured destruction in a different package.

Greedy idiots are dumb...

yeah but at least we kill ourselves rather then kill each other I think we last longer that way. No one lasts forever and we've had a kickass run. Hell we landed on the moon.
nippon still superior
i hear chineese vag is really tight?
"China passes Japan as second-largest economy"
And yet the US Dollar just hit a 15 year low against the Japanese Yen. What does that say about our economy?

That it's as robust and healthy as ever.

People I talked to while I worked at [cannot-say] thought outsourcing R&D was a really bad idea.
Apparently, several companies had tried it, and the results were horrendous. Leaks were common-place, they hardly output anything worthwhile, and were therefore less efficient.
Factory work is one thing. Research and development is quite another. Some universities in China do produce good work on occasion, but it's not nearly on the same level, nor is it consistent or reliable.
