China’s Growth Challenges 2010-2035

China’s growth is often compared to post-WWII Japan’s, but this is a complex comparison that requires detailed analysis.

Guinness Atkinson’s China Growth Brief looks at the similarities and differences to Japan of the Chinese growth experience to date, as well as some of the challenges posed by the current industrialization policy, China’s demographics, issues surrounding the concept of urbanization and how it should be understood in a China context. The paper concludes by looking at the options open to China to sustain growth beyond investment and develop a sustainable consumer society over the next twenth-five years.
