Timeline label: Total Central Government Expenditures as Share of GDP
Image caption: Public spending (%GDP), selected OECD countries, 1900-2015; There was a rapid increase in government spending around the time of WWII across the globe. This meant that there was less attention on the consumer as global attention went towards the war. Furthermore, across the globe there was rationing as sovereign nations and their colonies attempted to derive all possible resources towards the issue at hand. Therefore, there was a dramatic decrease in spending on Chinese goods. This combined with the Cultural Revolution meant that China was essentially on pause when it came to involvement with the global economy until Reform and Opening began in 1977.; 在第二次世界大战期间，全世界的政府都在花更多的钱。因此，更少的人因为担心战争而担心个人购买商品。全世界的人们也很少买东西，因为各国正试图将所有资源用于战争。所以，中国商品的购买量大大减少了。战争对经济的影响加上文化大革命，意味着中国直到1977年改革开放才全球经济产生影响。

Timeline label: Production of Apparel in China from 1970 to 2015 (in Billion Pieces).
Image caption: Graph made using data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China; President Reagan's attempts at decreasing textile imports from China failed as production of apparel tripled in the 1990s, and then increased by more than 6 times that rate by 2000.

The US would soon be dependent on China for their production needs, thereby boosting their economy.; 里根总统试图减少从中国进口的纺织品数量。然而，他没有成功，因为中国制造的衣服数量在1990年代增长了两倍，然后到2000年增长了六倍。当中国在这种关系中制造产品时，这是中国开始加强对这种关系的控制的开始。美国人很快就会需要中国为其生产产品，这使中国对美国经济拥有更大的实力，并改善了中信经济。

Timeline label: Infographic Depicting China's Economy Over 70 Years
Image caption: 70 Years of Economic Development and Policy In The People's Republic of China; China has had an enormous growth in GDP since the Cultural Revolution. As such, their influence on a global scale has grown astronomically. Following WWII but prior to Reform and Opening, China was not considered much of a threat by the Western world, but their growing influence on the world economy has allowed them to become a much louder voice when it comes to global issues. Since the acquisition of Hong Kong and Macau, that influence has only grown.

Timeline label: China's Tariffs on US Goods
Image caption: China's average tariff rate is climbing on US goods and falling for the rest of the world; The United States has made it abundantly clear that it views China as a major threat to the US economy. As such, there were many strict tariffs imposed on Chinese goods under the Trump administration in an attempt to force the Chinese people to submit to American will. However, instead China decided to place growing tariffs on american goods, cutting into the US economy’s revenue wherever possible. As the Chinese economy has grown so rapidly, it now has the ability to push back when Western nations challenge it.; 美国已经清楚表示，美国认为中国视为对美国经济的威胁。因此，特朗普总统对中国商品征收了许多高额关税，因为他试图让中国同意做美国想做的任何事情。相反，中国决定对美国商品征收更高的关税，这对美国经济产生了重大影响。中国的经济增长使其能抵抗西方国家。

Timeline label: Graph Depicting China's Share of Online Sales in The Luxury Market
Image caption: Share of Online Sales in The Luxury Market in China from 2015 to 2020; China has been incredibly successful in growing their share of the luxury market due to Apps and websites such as Tmall by Alibaba. The platforms allow Chinese citizens access to exclusive products that would otherwise have to be purchased in store. Additionally, many luxury brands have stores in Hong Kong but not on the mainland, which means that the goods are much more accessible online. Furthermore, China’s increased share of the luxury market reveals that Chinese citizens have an increased disposable income. It is also important to acknowledge that this increased influence is with the added cost increase of the tariff on US goods.; 由于阿里巴巴的APP和网站如天猫上购物，中国成功地扩大了对贵的商品市场的影响。这些平台使中国人更容易他们要不然原本必须在商店购买的产品。此外，许多非常昂贵的品牌专卖店有中国香港，但不是大陆，这意味着许多人只能买的产品线上。此外，中国对昂贵商品市场的影响力日益增强，这意味着越来越多的中国人有钱可以花在不需要的东西上。这更加有声有色因为由于对美国商品征收高贵的关税，其中许多商品甚至更加贵。
