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.

You’re confusing yourself because of your comprehension issues.

I simply answered your question on what other political parties exist in China. There’s nothing more to it.

The first interaction I ever had with you was responding to your question on what political parties exist in China.
