Educators, policymakers and business leaders need to decide how to respond to the implications of China’s economic slowdown. Options have not been adequately considered because the extent of the slowdown has not been understood and acknowledged. Even today international organizations, governments, and prominent public intellectuals endorse rosy assumptions that would not be taken seriously elsewhere. It’s time to talk about the slow growth era in China. To set the table for that, the structural economic problems that reduce China’s potential growth to 0-2% must be recognized.
