According to Deutsche Bank, China could account for a larger share of global GDP than any other country in the next 5 years and knock America off its perch as the world’s biggest economy. What is the basis of this prediction and how will China and America respond? Will China want to be the new super power with all the responsibilities that brings and how will America react? Join Chair Bill Jamieson, Co-editor of Scot-Buzz and ex Executive Editor of The Scotsman, to discuss these issues with panellists, Professor Leslie Young, Professor of Economics, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, Beijing; Jeremy Peat, Chair of Economic Policy Committee at Scottish Enterprise; Robert Moran, U.S. pollster; and Peter Budd, Chairman of Ove Arup & Partners Scotland Ltd.
