For the past few months, analysts, economists and politicians in the West have been discussing the theory that China's economy has peaked. Some agree that the Chinese economy has done so and argue that sustained high growth will inevitably be stifled because of insurmountable challenges in critical areas, such as the economic structure, demography, etc.

Can the "peak China" theory withstand careful examination? What's the state of the Chinese economy? Host Liu Kun is joined by Dr. Yao Shujie, Chueng Kong Professor of Economics, Chongqing University; Dr. Lauren Johnston, Associate Professor, China Studies Centre, University of Sydney; Professor Doug Guthrie, Director of China Initiatives at Thunderbird School of Global Management.
