The headwinds of a rapidly aging population, a battle against rampant corruption and an enormous national debt are also slowing China's growth. Will the country mature into a global economic leader, trigger a crisis, or stagnate like Japan? Arthur R.Kroeber, one of the world’s leading commentators on the Chinese economy, tackled these tough questions in this event.
