China's Declining Global Economic Dominance: A Mao Zedong Era Reversal

China's share of the global economy is set to decline by 1.4 percentage points over two years, marking the largest drop since the era of Mao Zedong. This reversal in China's economic rise is seen as a historic turn that could potentially reorder the world. Factors contributing to this decline include government intervention in businesses, debt turmoil, slower productivity, a shrinking workforce, and the loss of foreign investors. Meanwhile, emerging nations like India, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, and Poland are expected to fill the gap left by China's decline, indicating possible power shifts in the global economy. Despite Beijing's 5% annual growth target, experts argue that China's economic decline is inevitable.
