How It Ranks
China ranks high on the 50 best countries list for its rapid economic development. While the country has a lot of global influence, it’s controversial in terms of its human rights and tightly controlled politics.
China is one of the most visited countries in the world, if not for the Great Wall, then for the Forbidden City or giant pandas. There are a surprising number of things that are banned in China, including Justin Beiber, fireworks, gambling and Christmas.
