What is true is that Japan is currently the second largest economy in the world behind the United States. Another fact is that China will soon overtake Japan as the second largest economy in the world.
The difference between Japan and China is that Japan companies are well established and so is their market. The Chinese is an emerging market still controlled by a communist government in name only.
If you are thinking of ETF investing in the Japanese market, the risk is lower than with an emerging market, but the profit potential is slightly less because of less risk. With a Japanese ETF in your portfolio, you can be better diversified for what the future holds.
