China's GDP in 2010 was $6.05 trillion. By 2014 the GDP has growth to $10.4 trillion. That's still far behind the US's $17 trillion GDP economy built over 200 years. However, the Chinese achievement is already the envy of the world.

Although growth has slowed, it reflects a welcome rebalancing away from the low margin "factory of the world" growth model to a "quality and innovative growth" era. Growth isn't always good. The quality matters.
