Strengths, weaknesses of China's economy

As I have said earlier, I attended a very crowded public lecture on China's economy last Sunday. The speaker was Beijing University's Professor as well as the founder and director of China Center for Economic Development, Justin Lin Yifu who is also a top economic adviser to the Central Government of China. Lin holds PhD in economics from the Chicago University in the United States.

Below is my report of the gist of his presentation in Mandarin. It came out late because I really needed time to find the accurate English technical terms to match his Mandarin presentation. Fortunately, I still keep a personal library of basic reference books of economics (please subscribe to malaysiakini)
