China superpower China is developing fast and, even though it has some issues with human rights, pollution and corruption, people have been speculating that it could be the next global super power.

China has a population of 1.3 billion, which is four times the U.S. population of 308 million. Simple math dictates that if four Chinese people can match one U.S. person in productivity, China will surpass the U.S. in production.

Amid the global recession there has been one sign of economic growth, albeit retroactive growth.

China has revised its estimate for 2007 GDP growth to 13% from the previously-released 11.9%, the Associated Press reports. With the revision China's 2007 GDP totaled $3.5 trillion, passing Germany's $3.3 trillion for third place, globally. (The United States is first, followed by Japan. And I should note that Germany is part of the European Union, and if the E.U. were ranked collectively, it would be the largest economy in the world, followed by the United States, Japan, then China.)

Economist David H. Wang, a China expert, said it's not unusual to see a large change in an emerging market nation's GDP estimate given the frenetic nature of a developing economy's expansion.

"Developing markets are characterized by overbuilding, excesses, inflation, and isolated shortages, and this has been the case in China. We know that growth had been strong up until the financial crisis. My reading now is that China's GDP is currently growing at a 7-8.5% annualized rate," Wang said. "Like the rest of the world, there's been a pronounced slowdown in China, but that doesn't blot out the impressive growth registered from 2003 to 2007."

China announced Wednesday it will tighten its monetary policy in 2008 for the first time in a decade to slow its surging economy, Channel News Asia reported Wednesday.

China said it would shift monetary policy from prudent to tight, but gave few specific details regarding the policy.
At the same, The Wall Street Journal reported that China's State Information Center, a think tank under the National Development and Reform Commission, said in a report published in the China Securities Journal that China should let the dollar-yuan rate move as much as 1% above or below the central parity rate [subscription required] in each daily trading session, up from 0.5% now.

China's sizzling economy has grown by over 10% annually for more than four years, and many economists expect another double-digit GDP gain in 2007, despite the Chinese government's effort to cool the economy. In 2006, China's GDP totaled $10.2 trillion in purchasing power parity terms and $2.5 trillion in real terms, according to research by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
