This study takes a data driven approach to China's economy. Despite having experienced the highest economic growth in history covering the largest population China attracts a high level of negative commentary in Western media pointing towards its imminent demise. We dispel this myth and show that China's economy is as robust as ever and that much of the negative views are based on taking data out of context. China is by far the largest economy in the world in real terms and its underlying strengths have not dissipated.
