At the end of last year, China officially adjusted the size of its economy in an attempt to better reflect the plethora of activity taking place that wasn't counted in previous Soviet-central-planning-inspired statistics. The upshot was a 16.8% increase in gross domestic product that pushed China's economy past France's into fifth place worldwide - just behind the U.S., Japan, Germany and Britain.
