China's Business Outlook in the Midst of Economic Downturn

China's economy continues to be closely tied to the world economy, and especially to the U.S. business cycle. The current global financial crisis has led to a fall in Chinese exports, downward pressure on China's own property values, and worries about how far the overall growth rate may fall. Nonetheless, some analysts predict that China's domestic economy will be able to help lead the recovery, if policy is done right. Our panelists will discuss these issues from economic, political and business perspectives to give an update of what is happening in the China market and what the future may hold.
