All is not well in the Chinese economy

We can expect to hear a lot about China and Xi Jinping next week. On the 16th of October, this coming Sunday as we’re recording, China’s Community Party Congress is taking place. This once-every-five-year event will be monumental because President Xi is going to attempt to do something that hasn’t been done in decades. Attempting to secure a third consecutive five-year term as leader. If he's successful, he will be the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao.

But all is not well in the Chinese economy. So today, to set the scene and provide the context for Xi’s unprecedented tilt at a third term, Darcy and Sascha explore the state of the Chinese economy.
