Taisu Zhang(@ZhangTaisu):This speech on the state of the Chinese economy by Li Daokui is a pretty accurate representation of how the actual economics profession *in China* views the current situation. In short, it’s not optimistic. In fact there’s very little resemblance between their views and the portrayal of the Chinese economy commonly seen in Western policy circles or on Western social media.
