The changes in China over the past decade are visible and tangible. The numbers alone reflect this. In 10 years, China has risen to the world’s second largest economy. It accounted for 18 percent of global output in 2021. In 2012 it was 11 percent. The transportation network continues to connect more corners of the country, 170,000 kilometres of expressways that’s 8 round trips Beijing to New York. And 40,000 kilometres of high-speed rail one trip around the equator. Energy has undergone green and low carbon transitions. Clean energy consumption almost doubled to 25 percent. Electrical capacities from hydro solar and biomass powers first in the world. 10 years ago, nearly 100 million people, across China lived extreme poverty that’s one third population of America. Today, China is the only country to meet the UN’s poverty eradication goal and 10 years ahead of target.
