China has evolved over the last 40 years into the world’s biggest economy, so that the country can no longer be classified as a developing economy, even though there are numerous areas in which China is still in the process of catching up.

It is expected that it will have a dominant influence on global developments and may take on the role of the leading ‘goose’ for many countries situated along the One Belt, One Road.
