"Third largest". Hah. In GDP Nominal maybe. In GDP PPP both India and Russia are larger.
The Russian economy is sanctioned by the US, so comparisons in GDP Nominal (USD) are total misnomers.
The Japanese Yen is also undervalued. The truth is the German economy is like the 5th in real terms.

NHK video discussing how Japan got 4th place.
Jesus crikey, I couldn't bear listening and watching to the NHK English channel due to its robotic presentation and almost scripted response from the "expert" that made the commentary on why Japan was surpassed by Germany. CGTN'S Liu Xin on the other hand is miles better in asking actual penetrating questions which is a surprise to many in the west since CGTN is supposed to be a mouthpiece and propaganda arm of the CPC.
