This speech will reflect on China's unprecedented growth in the past 32 years, examine the reasons of that growth, and discuss prospects and challenges for China to maintain an eight-percent annual growth rate in the coming decades.

    His speech may be superficial, but he is a legendary figure. He is defected officer from Taiwan and escaped to Mainland, then became a professor in PKU, a phd in Univ of Chicago, Deputy chief of World Bank. Read his wikipedia, man. Sometimes what a man talks about does not matter but the man who talk does matter.

    Problem with the financial repression thesis: evidence does not fully support it, see for example Alessandra Guariglia, Xiaoxuan Liu, Lina Song (2008), " Internal Finance and Growth: Microeconometric Evidence on Chinese Firms" Journal of Development Economics, 2011, 96 (1), 79 - 94.
    And research on high savings point much more to underprovision of public goods, especially in the rural sector. More public goods -not financial liberalization- is the solution.

      Those capitalists with low or zero morality move the factories to foreign countries, they are the one who took your jobs. And please spell jobs right.

    Nobody is saying anybody is special. China just happens to have 1/5 -1/6 of all people on the planet, huge natural resources, and a continuous culture of over 5,000 yrs. After the west, and Japan invaded & exploited China beginning in the 19th century, they've just been trying to get on their feet. They've had to play by the rules set by the west, but they also have 1,000's of years of economic theories of their own to access.

    With a splendid civilization of more than 5000years, you still are comparing it with Africa. Chinese people are patien and diligent, which is the only reason of chinese economic development.
    It is not due to any genius ' work, on the contrary it is the losing of the bondage that forced on the people that helped

    To understand why you have to understand the differences between the transition in both country. Russia didn't "move" to the market economy; their political system collapsed due to the planned economy failing. So instead of the political system in Russia being able to plan the change from a planned economy to market(the irony is not lost on me lol) the market economy simply came.
    Total control to no control is quite a different situation than total control to releasing control. The former brings chaos; the latter allows Order. There can be no market economy in chaos as Order is the fundamental social requirement for business growth. What does the west have that most eastern countries do not have? The rule of law. What does the rule of law allow? Order.

    It's a M O N O P O L Y that seeks to rule the world by unseen force (the power of "darkness", John 3:19-21 says it well).

      Let's hope Xi Kin Ping c an put a human face on it and deflect those corrupt persons who heart is a wellspring of RUTHLESS L I E S , TRICKERY & D E C E I T (Jeremiah 5:1-12*). John 3:19-21 ask that you EXPOSE THEM.

    Not surprising since you understand nothing. You are in the wrong forum. You should be on the Football Channel.
