- China's economy has grown rapidly over the past few decades, with its GDP increasing 10-fold between 1990 and 2010, allowing it to become the world's second largest economy. - However, China still faces major economic challenges including an overreliance on exports and investment, low domestic consumption, and regional economic imbalances that threaten continued rapid growth. - As China's economy and trade has expanded globally, it now represents a major trading partner for many countries, but tensions remain regarding its managed currency and trade surplus.
