Despite a history of conflict and competition, China and Japan share a contiguous geography and development models. China may also share Japan's economic fate. China now has the world's fastest-growing economy and is undergoing what has been described as a second industrial revolution. Nowadays, China is one of the world's top exporters and is attracting record amounts of foreign investment. In turn, it is investing billions of dollars abroad.
China and Japan both countries use under-valued currencies to provide exporters with a competitive advantage. Exports were promoted at the expense of household income and consumption. As a member of the World Trade Organization, China benefits from access to foreign markets. But relations with trading partners have been strained over China's huge trade surplus and the piracy of goods and encouraged high domestic savings rates, which was used to finance investment. China generated large trade surpluses which were invested overseas, primarily in US government securities, to avoid upward pressure on their currencies and to help finance purchases of their exports. Also used high levels of investment financed domestically to drive economic growth.
