ABSTRACT
China is the world’s second largest economy and has been the world’s largest, in purchasing-power-parity terms, since 2014. Hao Jingfang, the author of Folding Beijing, became the second Chinese writer to take home a Hugo Award when she won the Best Novelette award at the 74th World Science Fiction Convention in 2016. William Ding was born into an intellectual family in Fenghua City, Zhejiang Province, in 1971. Duan Yongping – the Chinese meaning of Yongping is “forever safe” – is also known as “China’s Warren Buffett”. He keeps a low profile, and no one knows his true wealth. Duan was born into an ordinary family in 1961. Amazon also didn’t make its first profits until 2015, 20 years after its establishment, which meant its investors were extremely patient and confident for a period of two decades.
