Is This The End Of The Chinese Economic Boom?

Geoff Riley

Ed Conway from Sky news has a happy and uncanny knack of getting to the pith and gist of an issue in his short reports. He did a brilliant piece on Greece last year and now he reflects on a week travelling around China to ask whether economic and financial fragility will bring about a hard landing for China. He talks to economist Michael Pettis in search of a forecast for China's growth targets, which are threatened by the country's debt crisis: the biggest in economic history.
