main entity: Why is China's GDP so much larger than Japan's despite lower per-capita wealth?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: China has a population of 1.4 billion compared to Japan's 125 million—over 11 times larger. While China's per-capita GDP of $12,700 is significantly lower than Japan's $34,200, the sheer population size gives China a 4.3x larger total economy. Additionally, China's 5.1% annual growth rate expands the gap yearly, while Japan grows at only 1.3%.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which country has a more sustainable economy long-term?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Japan has more immediate fiscal sustainability despite its 262% debt-to-GDP ratio because it maintains domestic savings, low borrowing costs, and capital controls. However, its declining population (-0.5% annually) poses existential challenges. China faces near-term risks from property sector instability and shadow banking exposure ($2+ trillion) but has younger demographics and capital inflows supporting growth. Neither faces imminent crisis but both require structural reforms.
    language: en-US
main entity: How do the two economies compare in technology and innovation?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Japan ranks 2nd globally in innovation (2025 GII ranking) and leads in semiconductor design, robotics, and green technology with 3.4% R&D spending. China ranks 11th but is advancing rapidly in AI, 5G, and EVs with accelerating patent filings. Japan has quality advantage; China has scale advantage. China now produces 70% of global smartphones while Japan dominates precision manufacturing and high-reliability sectors.
    language: en-US
main entity: What are the main risks to each economy in 2026?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: China risks: property sector collapse ($2+ trillion exposure), youth unemployment at 21% despite 5.2% official rate, geopolitical tensions affecting tech exports, and debt-fueled infrastructure overcapacity. Japan risks: demographic collapse reducing workforce by 30% by 2070, fiscal unsustainability if interest rates rise (currently near-zero), and energy import dependency making it vulnerable to global commodity shocks.
    language: en-US
main entity: Which economy offers better investment opportunities in 2026?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: China offers growth opportunities (5.1% vs 1.3%) in AI, EVs, and manufacturing but carries higher political/debt risks. Japan offers stability and dividend yields from mature companies (Toyota, Sony) with proven business models and lower volatility. Conservative investors prefer Japan; growth-focused investors prefer China—risk tolerance determines choice more than fundamentals.
