Mostly China did what I did to get wealthy = work for low pay. I could be 4x as productive as others generally, as nearly all jobs need brains, energy, conscientious, etc VVV.
But that only goes do far. Then creative ideas and investment take over. Not stealing Qualcomm or other's intellectual property but actual invention.
Like Great Britain in the 18th and 19th century. And much of Europe.
Just on numbers, with 1.4 billion China out of 7 billion can get to 20% of global GDP. But merely doing twice as much per capita they can get to 40%.
Add some brains and motivation, VVV in general, they can easily get to 60%.
Don't forget, the dissolute, wastrel, parasite- infested, low VVV Aotearoa-Zimbabwe, Euroserfs, Yanks, Canucks are losing ground fast while inviting in hordes of third world jihadists and third world 70 to 80 IQ types.
It's the smart fraction that gets a country going, but they need to live among civilised producers.
See smart fraction theory by Griff de lion.
Ashkenazi Jews and a very few others can really get things going so maybe China lacks that tippety tippy top few who can invent the theory of relativity, silicon cognition, etc, and maybe the stultifying social context squashes such exuberance. So they could top out at 50%.
But maybe they have enough hotstuff DNA, or, can buy/hire/steal the right genes from Einstein's relatives, clip it into their DNA, get cloning, and hey presto. 80% GDP. Or 90%. Or they just take over everywhere so get 100% GDP.
