Beyond the Miracle: Is China’s Economic Model Running Out of Steam?

from Růžička & Vořechovský · host Jan Růžička

Jeremy Mark is one of the most respected economic analysts covering the global economy. He spent 17 years at The Wall Street Journal and CNBC, then more than 20 years at the International Monetary Fund, and the past five years at the Atlantic Council. We asked him where the Chinese economy really stands. We debated brutal capitalism and five-year plans, the property collapse, demographics, the financial system, the role of the renminbi, and the risk of conflict with Taiwan. Is China truly growing at 5% — or only statistically? And why might it never overtake the United States?
