China has squeaked past Great Britain by a tiny
margin to become the world's fourth largest economy, according to the World
Bank's latest calculations.
The World Bank said last week that its
official calculations suggest China's national output reached US$2.263825
trillion in 2005, just US$94 million or 0.004 per cent more than
Britain.
China overtook Britain last year, based on the conversion of the
gross domestic product of both countries into US dollars at current exchange
rates.
