There is a surprise that china with so much corruption ranked 77th and still among the worlds largest economy . Their ranking in business is very low compare to US and UK still maintaing the A rating. And their business has grown in leaps and bounds with so much challenges.

Same story is with India, ranking is low and ratings also but still they are one of the fastest growing economies in the world and further, their GDP is in top 3 if we look at PPP index. So, these are two amazing and surprising story that with so many challenges, they are still growing fast. Common thing is bith are heavy populated, which make them attractive markets and cheap labor.
