3. Question 1
(a) Clearly distinguish between economic growth and economic development using four key areas (e.g., income distribution, quality of life, sustainability, structural change).
Explain why relying only on economic growth (GDP) is not sufficient to evaluate a countrys overall performance. Use examples from the case study.

Expenditure approach
Income approach

Explain what each indicator shows about Chinas economic performance.
(b)
– Discuss four roles of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Chinas industrial development (technology transfer, job creation, productivity growth, export expansion).
– Then explain two key expectations/demands placed by Chinese policymakers on foreign firms (e.g., moving up the value chain, contributing to innovation, investing in inland regions like Chengdu).
5. Question 3
– Explain the theory of comparative advantage clearly.
– Then analyze four competitive advantages that explain Chinas strong trade performance (e.g., low-cost labor, large-scale production, government support, infrastructure, strong export demand).
Link your explanation directly to the case study.
6. Writing and Analysis
– Provide critical analysis, not just description.
– Use examples from the case to support every major point.
