China's economic triumph: Story of decade

The rise of China as an economic powerhouse has been one of the most read news stories of the past decade. The Global Language Monitor, which uses an algorithm to search printed and electronic media and the Internet for trends in word usage, says there's strong interest in the Asian powerhouse.

It says China's story topped news about the 2003 Iraq war, the September 11, 2001 attacks, the ensuing war on terror, and the sudden death this year of Michael Jackson.
