China Rewriting Economic Narrative - But At What Cost?

The 2021 narrative has been one of global economic recovery - but it’s not without its twists and turns, as the Delta variant emerged and disrupted business. And as we enter into the final quarter of the year, the world’s economic engine, China is facing multiple challenges from a property debt crisis to energy shortages that could threaten its recovery. How will this affect global economic growth in 2022? We discuss the trends with independent economist Andy Xie.
