Thanks. Interesting find. Do you work in finance?

By the way, I think what’s implied by the graphic is misleading. Here’s the CLI for all OECD counties (red), China (purple) and Switzerland (blue) for the same period:

They’re so remarkably similar you could equally make the argument for many other countries.

Financial journalist. China is so crucial to the world economy right now that there’s strong correlations between Chinese CLIs and those for other major industrialised economies, so yeah, that research shop is likely overstating their case for marketing purposes. But I thought it was a fun graph.
