China’s remarkable economic development since the 1990s to be the world power it is today, has been recorded by the World Bank as “the fastest sustained expansion by a major economy in history”. Growing at an annual average of 9.71% from 1989 to 2017, China’s economic progress certainly took the world by storm to be the challenging power to US dominance.
