14:30-14:50: China Global Challenge
China is the greatest beneficiary of globalization, yet the Chinese economy remains unstable and unsustainable. While fixed investments and exports account for ever higher percentages of GDP, consumption continues to drop as % of GDP. With market speculation and consumer prices on the rise are we headed for overheating or a "Next China" powered by consumer-led growth? The pace of globalization may determine the outcome.
