💸 GDP Game Strong: From 110 trillion yuan ($15.4T) in 2021 to a projected 140T yuan by 2025 – that's like adding the entire economy of South Korea every year!
📊 Growth Glow-Up: Despite global turbulence, China maintained a steady 5.5% annual growth rate through 2024. For comparison, that's faster than your favorite TikTok trend going viral.
🌏 World's Economic MVP: Contributing ~30% to global growth annually, China's basically carrying the team like that one friend who does all the group project work. 🏆
