Let’s be honest—whenever China sets a new five-year economic plan, the world pays attention. Not just economists or policymakers. Businesses, tech leaders, startups, investors, and even regular folks like me, who just happen to geek out over global strategy, sit up and take notice. Now that China has started signaling its 2025 economic strategy, complete […]

When people talk about China’s economy, the usual buzzwords fly around—second-largest, manufacturing giant, world’s factory, and so on. You’ve probably heard that story a dozen times.
