China, one of the poorest countries in the world three decades ago, with a GDP per capita30 of only US$165 (constant 2000 US$) in 1978, is now the world’s second largest economy, with annual growth rates averaging 9 per cent over the past 30 years, and GDP per capita of RMB 41,908 in 2013 (current US$ 6,807). Rapid economic growth is projected to continue though at a lower rate, but disparities among regions and population groups are large and widening.
