Abstract
In recent years, particularly after 2020 (Pandemic), the Chinese economy has been observed to be slowing down in terms of growth rates, prompting a variety of commentaries on the reasons and implications, both for China and the global economy. Some of these commentaries follow from other narratives in earlier decades predicting an impending collapse of China’s economy based on a variety of arguments. This presentation picks up from Prof. Barry Naughton’s presentation at the Gargi and V.P.Dutt memorial lecture (3 April 2024), “China’s Economic Slowdown: Structural, Cyclic and Systemic” and examines a few other hypotheses. It would identify the problems with these arguments in the context of the recent performance of other major economies and changing geo-political conditions post-2020.
