Abstract: GDP growth dependence on various factors of the country during 1980–2013 (34 years) has been estimated. Ordinary Least Squares technique of regression is applied here. The results indicate that devaluation in the Yuan, considering real effective and nominal exchange rates, has an impact. Further, the systematic effect of capital formation on GDP growth is greater than that of international trade and domestic household consumption expenditure. This signifies the importance of the domestic economy in contrast to the general belief of external sector dependence of Chinese growth.
