Is China's Potential Overhyped?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

As China expands its investment overseas, is the country's economic potential overhyped? We speak to Jonathan Fenby, a long-time China analyst and author, who has just published a book called Will China Dominate the 21st Century?. Also, the BBC's Nick Davis reports from Jamaica where environmentalists are worried about a US$1.5 billion Chinese port development which they say will threaten Goat Island, the country's biggest nature reserve. And the BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei, reflects on why so many young Taiwanese are suspicious of China's growing economy.
