Certain economies at the moment are viewed positively because they generally have a positive trade balance or control of their budget. The question is how have the managed to do this?
Norway, for example, has the advantage of finite oil assets which it is using well and re investing into its economy to have a life after oil (good management and luck it has such valuable resources).
China has abundant cheap labour (a large country with a large population) and an economy which as each day passes is more integrated into the global economy. As they get wealthier using this resource the labour will not be as cheap so the business plan for the country has to change. I.e. more focused on education and innovation. This transition must be followed closely. In any period of good growth, dont assume it is perpetual. Understand why it is occuring and hence be able to foresee when it will end. If the managers of that economy are doing the same they are capable people and they are likely to find new sources of wealth. However, history tells us over time othr countries for luck or otherwise will become more competitive (for they fact they were not getting as rich as the country of interest!).
