It used to be a powerful and richest country, before world war I, now it just a developing country I think.

-------------------------------------------

Right now, it's a developing country where some people are fabulously wealthy while most are still poor but getting better.

on a historic level, from 10th to the early half of the 19th century or so, China was generally one of the wealthiest area particularly from around 7th-13th century, with relatively better spread of wealth compare to most other places, there were little to no slaveries or serfdoms during this period. and occupations were generally not restricted as much, it was realatively more free moving society than the contemporary world.

Before the 10th century is harder to compare, on a general level China rarely had mass slaveries, though something akin to serfdom occasionally occurs before this, the Tang dynasty was still largely a era dominated by noble familes, though there were significant chances for commoners as well (but not as much as later eras).
