China's GDP doubled to 114 trillion yuan (about 16.03 trillion U.S. dollars) last year from over 50 trillion yuan in 2012. Ten years ago, China's per capita GDP was 6,300 U.S. dollars, which climbed to over 12,000 U.S. dollars last year. Deeper pockets are sustaining more diverse choices.

The past decade has been driven by innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development, which has brought profound changes in the social and economic life in China.

Going forward, China has also set out new development goals and put common prosperity in a more prominent position, aiming at affluence shared by everyone.
