China has a very high 3G growth rating, according to the Global Growth Generators index by Citigroup.
As of 2012, China has the world's second-largest nominal GDP according to the country's National Bureau of Statistics.
I got to thinking what countries are the top 5 superpowers in order as of 2012. I found a list
from Google below but I am not sure I agree.
I would have thought it 1. America 2. United Kingdom 3. China 4. Russia 5. Germany
But it seems I am wrong, although I admit I do not know how legit this list I found is, here it
is:
