I think that Golem's point is a sound one. The entire economic view of the world appears to be one of seeing China's rise as inevitable. It certainly looks like it but hidden debt is a hidden terror…

For example the chairman is a trained hydrologist.

In theory at least, this means the communist party might be better at understanding and managing the economy as the complex system it is as opposed to the western economic management which seems mostly based on faith and taking ridiculous assumptions at face value. It'll be interesting to see whether these different starting points will make any difference in reality…
