I don't konw if there is clerical error in it , so I assume it is wrong , and the below is my modified version .
"How well they successfully holds enormous consequences for the world economy, where China has emerged as one of the few reliable engines of growth."

The first sentence is actually correct, but it is a little complex.
The first part of the sentence ("How well they succeed holds enormous consequences for the world economy, ") means the level of their success will have a large impact on the world economy.
"How well they succeed" is the subject, "holds" is the verb, "enormous consequences" is the object, and "for the world" is a prepositional phrase modifying the object.
The second half of the sentence ("where China has emerged as one of the few reliable engines of growth") is a clause modifying "the World Economy". It is adjunct information describing the relation between China and the world economy to explain why the level of its success will have such a large impact.
Hope this helps :)
