China’s economic power has been growing for decades. The capitalist reforms of Deng Xiaoping quickly transformed China into the world’s fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% annually. But in recent years the so-called China miracle has begun to slow down. The Covid-19 pandemic and the default of property giant Evergrande (the world’s most indebted property developer) are among the factors that have economists and politicians around the world asking: Is China’s economy in big trouble?

As we enter 2024 President Xi Jinping faces some formidable challenges: slow growth, high youth unemployment and a domestic property market in turmoil.

In May 2024 renowned economist Keyu Jin came to Intelligence Squared to help us all make sense of the problems China faces. She explained how the success or failure of its economy will have profound consequences for the rest of the world.

Some argue that a more vulnerable China will seek better relations with the United States and the West. Others say economic weakness could make the country more aggressive and therefore more likely to invade Taiwan. Either way it has never been more important for us to understand the Chinese economy.

    The bloke who says Russia is a vassal of China for being dependent on it for oil export, while referring to India as a big power when it is nowhere near, must be talking off his behind.

    I admire this new generation of Chinese scholars who can speak English very well. In this they are far ahead of their politicians. I hope she continues to be pro china nationalistic and patriotic and explain China to the world. Hope the longer she stays in the UK her star will not fall and she will not be branded a British agent.

    AI in the US is mainly focusing on robots chatting like real lawyers, journalists, politicians, freelancers, TV archors, and entertainers. AI in China is mainly focusing on robots working like real engineers, programmers, workers, drivers, teachers, doctors, nurses, and farmers. Amusing. 😊

    Should get Eric Li on the show.

    It is untrue that China is dropping the pro-growth agenda. They are transitioning to a more sustainable and self reliant growth agenda given the shifts in geopolitics as well as the more advance stage of their economy.
  • @marktahu2932
    Great questions from the audience - coherent and on point, the perfect foundation for a good discussion.
  • @stanfords2978
    Key takeaways: 1. Top level leaders care about young generation very much. 2. Mao vs Deng between policy makers. 3. Central vs Local relationship is stable, based on hundreds years experience. 4. Sanction cause short term trouble, but long term growth of domestic technology. 5. Realestate is under control, no like Japan.

    Despite all the ups and downs, the Chinese juggernaut is still chugging along steadily and the world needs to understand what makes China tick. Those who do will benefit while those who don't will pay the price and lag behind.

    I am from Manipur, India. From the recent violence incident in Manipur and what the Western countries and media made out it, I won't say that they're objective and well informed. The British didn't even refer to the historical written records their forefathers kept.

    Thank you to the lovely and intelligent Ms. Keyu Jin! 👏👏👏

    The Chinese economy's rapid expansion has become a cornerstone of the global economy, influencing trade flows, investment patterns, and technological advancements worldwide. As China's influence grows, its economic policies and market dynamics increasingly shape global trends in manufacturing, technology adoption, and financial markets. Understanding China's economic trajectory and its integration into global networks is pivotal for navigating today's interconnected economic landscape and shaping future opportunities and challenges on a global scale.
  • @horridohobbies
    If India grows by 8% for the next 30 years, it still cannot catch up to China growing at 3%. The math doesn't lie: India: 1.08^30 = 10.06 China: 1.03^30 * 4.71 = 11.43 [China's GDP is 4.71X larger than India's.]
