WEF sees China gaining an edge in competitiveness over other nations

China ranked 28th among global economies in terms of competitiveness, and was the best performer among the five BRICS members, according to the World Economic Forum's latest annual report.

The country's good position in the ranking can be mainly attributed to its long-term efforts in promoting innovation and opening-up, experts said.

According to the Global Competitiveness Report 2019 released on Wednesday, China's position in the ranking was unchanged from last year, but its overall score climbed 1.3 points.
