Brown (2009) argues that China’s rapid growth is not just due to heavy investment as is the common claim, but to the fact they have the fastest productivity gains of any country in the world. The United States has achieved small but steady TFP growth which translates into a similar smaller annual GDP growth than that of China. Australia on the other hand has in the past 10 years experienced a slowdown in TFP growth but it has seemed not to have affected total GDP growth too much.
The rise in China from a poor, stagnant country to a major economic power within a time span of twenty-eight years is often described by analysts as one of the greatest success stories in these present times.

China currently remains second ranked in GDP. From the year 1990, China was ranked 11th place, ten years later it climbs to 6th place. Now, China currently remains second ranked in GDP and sustained that way for quite a long time. This is because of their cheap labour; they have maintained contracts with foreign tradesmen from licensed companies and continue to manufacture their products. Though they are running smoothly it is hard to equate America to china. This is because America is a mass producer of goods for the country and products from foreign tradesman. But according to business insider China may grasp the opportunity to overtake America by 2020.

Economic growth means the increase in the real GDP over time. It can be caused by an increase in an aggregate demand or aggregate supply.

It is the growth of GDP explained by weighted growth rates of other variables. It should be cleared that the growth rates of other variables need not to be the final explanation of GDP growth (Holz, 2008). It is given by: ΔY/Y=ΔA/A + α.ΔK/K + (1-α) ΔL/L. How long run aggregate supply impact growth is shown below.
