Japan is No Longer the World's Third Largest Economy as Germany Takes Over 德国超过日本，日本不再是世界第三大经济体 Japan slips into recession and loses the world’s third-largest economy spot to Germany. The slip is being attributed to weaker consumer demand and the sharp fall in Japan’s currency Yen against the US dollar. The people of the East Asian nation are reeling under the rising cost of living and lower wages 日本陷入衰退，失去了世界第三大经济体的地位，败给了德国。这一下滑归因于消费者需求疲软和日元兑美元汇率暴跌。这个东亚国家的人民对生活成本上升和工资下降感到震惊 以下是印度网民的评论： chewie94116 Japan's stock market is at an all time high- Nikkei closes above 38,000 for first time since 1990. Usually in a recession, stock market goes down, NOT up. So, interpreting this as a recession is difficult. On paper, it is a recession, but I wonder what the average Japanese person is thinking and doing. 日本股市创历史新高——日经指数自1990年以来首次收于38000点以上。通常在经济衰退时，股市会下跌，而不是上涨。因此，很难说出现了衰退。从理论上讲，这是一场经济衰退，但我想知道普通日本人在想什么，在做什么。 icouldntthinkofabettername... Japan able to maintain that spot for that long was a big achievement indeed. This country has no millitary (own). Totally dependent on USA as an ally. No european union. Still did the best. India needs to learn from this. (Im indian too) 日本能够在这么长的时间内保持这一地位确实是一个了不起的成就。这个国家没有军队。完全依赖美国这个盟友。仍然做到了最好。 印度应该从中得到借鉴。（我也是印度人） iamrudraneel not really, Japan hit $ 5 trillion mark in 1990s, their economy was booming in 1970s & 80s with the help of US. Before china, it was originally Japan which used to be called factory of the world. So they should've continued to grow. All thanks to the US & falling birth-rate of Japan. That's what happens to any aided economy 事实并非如此，日本GDP在20世纪90年代达到了5万亿美元的大关，在美国的帮助下，日本的经济在70年代和80年代蓬勃发展。在中国之前，日本曾被称为世界工厂。应该继续发展才对的。这要 怪美国和日本出生率的下降。 Defencewait German economy is doing worst in it's history after reunification.. how it still managed to surpass japan? 自从统一后，现在的德国经济表现是历史上最糟糕的。它是如何超越日本的？ xrilis6386 Yen decline. 日元贬值啊 zakwanarif Easy, japan is doing even more worst 很简单，日本经济表现更糟糕啊 deepalall647 I prefer Japan over Germany any day! India and Japan should work together and boost the economy together. 不管怎样，比起德国，我更喜欢日本！印度和日本应该共同努力，共同促进经济发展。 mein3324 In geopolitics no one is permanent friend and enemy. India should try to benefit from both germany and japan. 在地缘政治中，没有人是永远的朋友，也没有人是永远的敌人。 印度应该左右逢源，努力从德国和日本获益。 user-ty7se7ns9y India and Japan have vastly different cultural and work styles, making it difficult to collaborate 印度和日本有着截然不同的文化和工作风格，两国合作很难的 sangramraje5667 Japan was fighting with India in world war 2. Battle of kohima, battle of Burma. Japanese are not friends of India. 日本在第二次世界大战中与印度交战。 科希马战役，缅甸战役。 日本人不是印度的朋友。 sangramraje5667 Japanese are funding bullet train in India but are they giving technology. No! 日本人正在帮助印度修建高铁，但他们是否在向我们提供技术？没有！ Arise4Fries90 Japan needs to have more kids 日本应该多生一些孩子了 viss6584 There was no India during WW2. They were fighting with the British. Infact Netaji’s INA had an alliance with German and Japanese forces who had already captured Burma and were ready to free India. 二战时还没有印度这个国家。他们（日本）是在与英国人作战。事实上，内塔吉的INA与已经占领缅甸并准备解放印度的德国和日本军队结盟。 sangramraje5667 @viss6584 there was no India in world war?????? Distorted history. Indian soldiers were in British army. Too much of them. In world war 1 also. 世界大战中没有印度这个国家？ 你是在歪曲历史。 英国军队中有印度士兵。 人数很多。 在第一次世界大战中也是如此。 charlesalexander4339 That is good for the World change is inevitable. 这对世界是个好事，变化是不可避免的。 abelgeorge5728 China is leading 中国处于领先地位 leealex24 The new emerging powers will rise up 新兴大国将崛起 firetree20O7 The recent recession in Japan, marked by a consecutive decline in GDP over two quarters, reflects significant economic challenges. Factors such as low private consumption and reduced capital spending by firms have contributed to this downturn, despite a rise in exports. However, it's important to note that Japan is not alone in facing economic difficulties. China's economic landscape presents even graver concerns, with structural imbalances and mounting debt posing serious threats to stability. While Japan grapples with its recession, China's economic woes underscore the need for comprehensive reforms and responsible economic management on a global scale. 日本最近的经济衰退，其特点是国内生产总值连续两个季度下降，反映了日本面临重大的经济挑战。尽管出口有所增长，但私人消费低和企业资本支出减少等因素还是导致了经济衰退。 然而，值得注意的是，日本并不是唯一一个面临经济困境的国家。中国的经济形势更加令人担忧，结构性失衡和不断增加的债务对稳定构成严重威胁。在日本努力应对经济衰退之际，中国的经济困境凸显了在全球范围内进行全面改革和负责任的经济管理的必要性。 turtlesoup8134 China landscape is even graver? Where did you learn economics? Chinese economy is not contracting. It is reforming into an even bigger and healthier economic system unlike Japan or Germany stuck in limbo and unable to reform under the heels of the empire. China is moving away from real estate investment and continues to invest heavily in upgrading its manufacturing and tech. This is exactly what the west don't want to see. Millions of foreign investors losing money in Chinese realestate stocks because they are expecting the gov to bail out the real estate. There are structure imbalance in China but the gov is dealing with it unlike the developed countries that kick the can down the road with QE and more debt. China limits its QE and let the unhealthy company die while investing on more promising tech companies. This is what a sovereign and dynamic economy look like. Its self correcting and not a zombie economy like the west, korea and Japan. 中国的经济困境更严重？你在哪里学的经济学知识？中国经济没有萎缩，而是正在改革，努力成为一个更强大、更健康的经济体系，不会像日本或德国那样陷入困境 中国正在远离房地产投资，继续大力投资于制造业和科技升级。这正是西方不希望看到的。 数以百万计的外国投资者投资中国房地产而亏损，他们期待政府救助房地产。中国存在结构失衡，但政府正在处理这一问题，不像发达国家那样通过量化宽松和更多债务来解决问题。 中国限制量化宽松政策，让不健康的公司倒闭，同时投资更有前景的科技公司。这就是主权国家和充满活力的经济体该有的样子。 中国经济能自我修正，而不是像西方、韩国和日本那样的僵尸经济。 vmrevote this is the begng of the end for japan. Dwindling and aging population. of course this can be remedied by immigration and having foreign workers but no they are a homogenous society resistant to change. Their culture and organization structure in work environment values seniority rather than innovation. 这是日本末日的开始。人口减少和老龄化。当然，可以通过移民和雇佣外国工人来弥补，然而他们日本是一个抵制变革的同质社会。他们的工作文化和组织结构看重资历而非创新。 HoTrEtArDeDcHiXx Still bigger than California GDP还是比加州更高 bharatmatha1877 World is changing in all directions...need to find another way of action to live .. 世界正在向各个方向变化。我们需要找到另一种生活方式。 barryonuora1700 India time to overtake both economies has come. 印度赶超这两个经济体的时机已经到来。 NikhilPodlejski2 India, too, is climbing at ranking but that country has nothing.
