China's economic landscape has become a focal point of extensive debate. Amidst a flurry of Western media predictions ranging from "stagnation" to "collapse" for the world second-largest economy, concerns about its future have taken center stage.

While some argue that China is at crossroads, others believe that existing and forthcoming policies will pave the way for sustained economic growth. What lies ahead for China's economic future? Is it poised to ascend into the ranks of high-income nations, or could it be stuck in the so-called "middle-income" trap?

In this episode, we cut through the noise and explore the real picture of China's economy. Host Zhao Ying is joined by Chen Jiahe, chief investment officer at Novem Arcae Technologies; John Ross, Senior fellow with Chongyang Institute of Financial Studies, Renmin University; and Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow at Taihe Institute.
