China's shadow banks

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Concern is growing about rapid lending by China's shadow banks. Some fear it could lead to a Chinese debt crisis. Lesley Curwen talks to Professor Frank Yu of the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai about the risks for the economy. Plus, one of the world's greatest thinkers on strategy, Professor Richard Rumelt attacks Europe's politicians for their lack of strategy over the eurozone crisis. And the BBC's Howard Johnson reports on Lebanon's efforts to boost its internet speeds, after research suggested they were the slowest in the world.
