Fortunately, the China economy is growing nicely and that should serve to help relax more than a few other national economies around the world. In fact, it's growing at a rate that is impressive, especially given the current global economic downturn. During Chairman Mao's rule, the Chinese economy was moribund at best. Not today, however.

Chinese leadership maintains that the country's national economy is growing at ever faster rates with each passing month, and there isn't much evidence out there that they're not correct. China also seems to be on the brink of passing Japan as the world's second-largest economy, maybe by the year' end.

China's Gross Domestic Product or GDP grew by 7. 1% in the first half of 2009, which is quite an impressive feat considering that China and most other countries were forced to undergo an economic restructuring due to the global economic collapse. Its GDP increase puts it by itself among the world's top 10 economies in terms of showing an increase, also.

It is believed by many financial mavens and economic experts that the Chinese economy will prove to be the catalyst that will leave the rest of the world's markets and national economies out of the current slump. The Chinese really hope that this is so, as they depend on consumers in many countries, especially in the US, to buy Chinese manufactured goods.

In order to mutually assist one another, China and the United States are seeking to work in a closer fashion in order to create an environment of economic and strategic cooperation that will lead to a rebound in the US economy. American consumers are the world's single largest group of buyers of Chinese goods, which is a fact that the Chinese government recognizes acutely.

Most experts would say that the fact of China seeking to be a responsible partner in helping to strengthen the world economy is a positive sign. The China economy also highlights how effective a government economic stimulus can work when executed with precision. Its $586 billion stimulus seems to have done wonders for the Chinese economy.
