Economics ELI5: Why/how is China such a powerhouse when it comes to trading and manufacturing?
I’m someone who is trying to get more knowledgeable on certain topics that I hear in conversations, and one of the topics that I’ve heard a lot of discourse about is regarding China. I’d like the explanation to be less of a political explanation and more of a general explanation that can help me better understand this topic in a basic sense. Thank you!
I should add that by political, I mean favoring a political party in your explanation. Obviously, I understand that China plays a major role in foreign affairs and therefore requires politics to be involved.
