How are Shipping Ports making of China the WORLD'S NUMBER ONE economy?

Years of economic development have allowed China to come up as one of the pioneers in the international container shipping industry. A well-connected network of ports has brought several economic advantages for China. It has also given Beijing greater control over the global maritime trade in general. The authorities in China are presently boosting the connectivity of the country with a special focus on improving the port infrastructure.
