Chinese productivity growth has slowed down considerably in recent years??

Our media get away with claims like this but they’re eliding ‘growth’ and ‘rate of increase’ (usually %). In reality, China's economy is red hot.

China's GDP is $30 trillion PPP

5% growth = $1.5 trillion.

$1.5 trillion = more than the GDP of 192 countries.

$1.5 trillion = more than US + EU growth combined.

$1.5 trillion = 30% of global growth*.
