    China becomes third largest economy
    By Geoff Dyer in Beijing

    Published: January 14 2009 14:20 | Last updated: January 14 2009 14:20

    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!
