China becomes third largest economy
By Geoff Dyer in Beijing

China has overtaken Germany to become the world’s third largest economy in 2007 after the Chinese authorities on Wednesday revised upwards the figures for growth during that year.

China’s National Bureau of Statistics said that the economy expanded by 13 per cent in 2007, a sharp increase from the 11.9 per cent growth rate the authorities had previously stated.

They are still playing with the numbers more than a year after!
