The actual per income GDP in China was only 140% of the United States level and 10% of the Brazilian capability (World Bank, 2014). Later, China's actual per income was equivalent to the United States one-fifth exceeding an average of 8 per cent per year. This rapid improvement of the nation’s economy changed the standard of living with several hundred millions of its citizens rising from poverty. Consequently, GDP growth has risen to 10% annually. This paper presents a quantifiable discussion briefly on the growth of Chinese economy from 1980 to 2010 through international trade, products and the countries partnership with their allies through international relations and the implication of the international trade strategy towards rising to the most powerful nation in terms of economy.

The level of exportation has significantly changed as countries rebound Chinese products. Consequently, some trading partners still acknowledge Chinese products as perfect. They purchase them to improve the economic stability of their countries depending on the type of investment needed for the products. For instance, developing nations import Chinese products for purposes of agriculture and services of road construction, and IT services that see China exporting their products and building economic ties for long time agreement. Selling to foreign consumers increases more productivity within China due to product purchase of Chinese products in bulk. The selling creates a regulatory environment whereby the Chinese government enacts rules and policies.

The rise of wages scares away investors of foreign companies due to high wages. The labor force earns a high profit making the nation to become countries with a very rapid rise in savings.

The countries put much focus on increase in export and the development of balance payment position. However, there are no justifiable facts about how export orientation would have resulted in the boom of investment since export does not directly increase economic growth. Incentives and investments vary in different ways. China should give the environmental aspect the first priority when implementing productivity.
