Nobel laureate Thomas J. Sargent described China's economic development as a "miracle" in an exclusive interview with China Central Television (CCTV).
Speaking in Shanghai, Sargent, who won the 2011 Nobel Prize in economic sciences, said China's pace of development has been unprecedented.
"I'm 82. When I was 40, China was a very poor country. And now, when we're sitting in the places I visit now, they are the most advanced in the world. And that happened in the shortest time in the history of a country of this size. So, it's generally a miracle for an economist to see," he said.
Sargent, who has visited China multiple times for academic exchanges, offered the remarks as his latest assessment of the nation's development path.
