How do we square China’s economic malaise with its industrial might?

Seven years ago, economists at Capital Economics, an independent macro-economic consultancy, issued a paper entitled The Coming Slowdown in China. At a time when much of the world was convinced China would overtake the U.S., they argued that tailwinds were already turning into headwinds. Our guest on this episode of The Call is Mark Williams, Chief Asia Economist at Capital Economics, and co-author of the firm’s provocative report. We ask Williams to revisit his firm’s thesis today, seven years on, against a very different backdrop, including an escalating U.S.-China rivalry amid sluggish growth.-The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk.
