The thirst for knowledge is always my drive towards a more carefree living as I always feel the urge to know more and to demystify especially important things in life which affects mine significantly. One of these must be investment and for me, a major topic is obviously how has China come around to become the world’s top economy and is that 6.5 to 7% annual growth still sustainable? Would China be able to achieve its promise of doubling the GDP and income by 2020 under the 13th 5 year Plan? All these answers may point directions to investments. I just heard a very good talk from Prof Lin Yefu (Chief Economist of World Bank to 2012) on Demystifying The Chinese Economy which I love to share with you.

While he has delivered several talks on the same topic including one in LSE, London in December 2012, this one I’m sharing is his latest one to date (delivered at the Open University of Hong Kong in December 2015) with the latest information.
