SHANGHAI, CHINA--(Marketwire - August 11, 2010) - ARC China released the latest edition of its newsletter ARC China Weekly today. The publication includes a commentary from ARC China Founder Adam Roseman as well as articles covering topics of general interest with a focus on consumer and retail, alternative energy, recent investment transactions in China's current news, and transactions in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
Roseman's foreword focuses on China's uninterrupted economic ascent as the country is set to overtake Japan as the second largest economy in the world in a resurgence that is changing everything from the global balance of military and financial power to how cars are designed. China is moving up the food chain faster than anyone thought possible, and even beginning to challenge Japan at the very core of its economy: high-end manufacturing.
China's GDP in 2009 was $4.98 trillion and Japan's was $5.07 trillion. In 2010, China's GDP was $1.335 trillion for the April-June quarter -- a period for which Tokyo has yet to report. China is growing at 10% a year while Japan's expansion this year is forecast at no more than 3%.
The continuous rise of China's economy has seen the country overtake Britain and France in 2005 and then Germany in 2007 and is gradually translating into clout on the world stage. China is a leading member of the G20, which since the 2008 financial crisis has become the world's premier economic policy-setting forum. China's ascent to become the world's second largest economy may only be overshadowed by the global influence that it has already attained.
