Although China now has displaced Japan as the world’s second largest economy, Japan will remain a strong power for the foreseeable future. On a per capita basis, Japan remains nine times richer than China, and it possesses Asia’s largest naval fleet and its most advanced high-tech industries.
如今，中国正在与其他重要亚洲国家一同崛起，包括韩国、越南、印度和印尼。尽管中国现已超越日本成为世界第二大经济体，但在可预见的将来，日本仍将保持超群的实力。从人均水平看，日本仍比中国富裕九倍，而且拥有亚洲最大的海军舰队和最先进的高科技产业。
