An excerpt...
"China on Tuesday raised its estimate of the output of the world's fastest-expanding major economy by a sixth, a revision that leaves growth better balanced but may increase pressure on Beijing to let the yuan rise faster.

The revision lifts China above Italy into sixth place, from seventh, in the world economic rankings based on 2004 output.

Here is the list of the world's 10 largest economies as at end of 2004:
