How Can China Escape Its Demographic Trap?

The third installment of Authers’ Notes, our Bloomberg book club, was the first to feature guests on three continents: Bloomberg Senior Markets Editor John Authers in New York, Bloomberg Opinion Columnist Shuli Ren in Hong Kong and economist and author George Magnus in London. They discussed George’s latest book, "Red Flags: Why Xi’s China Is in Jeopardy."

The book, published in 2018 by Yale University Press, examines how China’s antiquated governance system is hindering its economic and commercial ambitions. His earlier books include "The Age of Aging" (2008) and "Uprising" (2011), and his blog can be found at www.georgemagnus.com.
