The Asian Century? Recent global polls suggest people in many parts of the world believe China is about to - or already has -overtaken the US as the world's leading economy. Despite rapid growth in China and many other Asian countries in the past few decades, the US is in fact still top dog, but for how much longer? Will this be the Asian Century as many have predicted? Ritula Shah is joined at the Asia Society in California by a panel of academics and figures from business and finance for a special debate.
