Chinese slowdown impact: Here's what experts have to say. Kenneth Rogoff, March 8, 2019, Video, "The Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, China's second most powerful man, next to Xi Jinping, this week warned his country's highest lawmaking body that the country will face a more complicated environment and grave risks and challenges. Addressing the National People's Congress, he set the country's economic growth at 6 to 6.5 percent this year, just a shade lower than the 6.6 percent it achieved in 2018. He also promised lower taxes and fewer burdens on the private sector. So, should the world read this warning as an indication of deeper troubles for the Chinese economy or should one be confident that China can deliver a 6 percent plus growth this year? And what does a slightly slowing China mean to the world economy?"
