China Economy Wobbles

Business Daily

Available for over a year

China government measures fail to halt a slide on the Shanghai stock exchange. What does the worst monthly drop in share prices for six years say about wider efforts to reform the currency and the economy? We hear from one disgruntled investor and speak to a range of China experts: Peter Morici, professor of economics at the University of Maryland, Chris Brummer, professor of law at Georgetown University, independent Chinese economist Andy Xie, and Miranda Carr, head of China thematic research at the international investment bank, BESI.
