The Chinese Bubble Predictions and Perspectives

Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author). NPO/Netherlands Public Boadcast. (Added Author).

Summary: Has China circumvented the economic woes of America and Europe, or is the "Chinese miracle" headed for similar implosions in its housing and financial markets? For answers, this film seeks out the opinions of several Chinese commentators-from respected economists who offer complex analysis to ordinary Beijing citizens who describe their day-to-day struggles with the country's rapid changes. Real estate tycoon Feng Lun, one of the world's most successful developers, is also featured, insisting that opportunities are equal for all in China. But more nuanced views come from a taxi driver, a car salesman, and a construction worker, as well as from Dr. Wang Jianmao of the China Europe International Business School and Shanghai-based economist Dr. Andy Xie.
