Challenges for the Chinese Economy in Light of the Global Recession and Trade War

Even in a benign global environment China faces serious challenges of population ageing, rural-urban divide, and growing risks in the financial system. The global recession and the U.S. trade war compound these problems.  David Dollar discusses the challenges that China confronts in the next two decades and how these interact with a hostile global environment.

David Dollar, Senior Fellow, John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution
