(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

The size of the Chinese economy is likely to climb, in world rankings, from its current position as the sixth largest to the second largest by 2030, said economists² with global investment bank Lehman Brothers.

With its gross domestic product (GDP) growing at an annual rate of 6 per cent, China will come in after the United States to secure the second place spot, the economists said.

Such an economy stands to offer exciting business and capital market opportunities to foreigners over the next 10 years or so, said Robert Subbaraman, a Lehman Brothers senior economist¹ who is the co-author of a newly released comprehensive report on China's economic, political, social and foreign policy prospects⁴ over the next 10 years.

At a press conference last week in Beijing, Subbaraman and his colleagues offered detailed⁵ explanations of their forecasts regarding the impact of the country's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), growth opportunities and how to do business in China.
