Both are very different nations separated by ocean so an direct comparison is bound to be one sided. Furthermore, GDP is a dynamic thing and China's fast-growing economy can't be compared to Japan's more stagnant economy. Economically China surpassed Japan in GDP because of its large population (1.4 bn+) while Japan has an small population of .12 bn. However this means that Japanese have per capita income of $42,500 while China has per capita income of only $4283 i.e. the mean Japanese is on average ten times more rich than the mean Chinese. On the other hand, the cost of living in Japan is markedly higher than in China.
