“China’s economy is 52.8 percent free, according to our 2008 assessment, which makes it the world’s 126th freest economy. Its overall score is 1 percentage point higher than last year. China is ranked 23rd out of 30 countries in the Asia–Pacific region, and its overall score is slightly lower than the regional average.”
“Background:
China is a one-party state ruled by the Chinese Communist Party. Despite rhetoric about democratic development, the party maintains strict control of political expression, speech, assembly, and religion. Since opening up to foreign trade in the early 1980s, China’s economy has expanded rapidly. It is now the world’s second-largest economy in absolute terms, although per capita income remains low. Most workers are employed in the agricultural sector. The financial sector is largely opaque and state-controlled, raising concerns about lending practices. Since joining the World Trade Organization in 2002, China has liberalized many sectors of its economy, but it still suffers from the lack of a rule of law, poor protection of intellectual property rights, and corruption, among other hurdles.”
