it's the second largest economy in the world. unless something goes terribly wrong, it's an economy that's on track to replace the u.s. as the largest economy in the not-too-distant future. but china, as you said in your introduction has got some serious issues. because the policies that got them where they are today need to be changed. they have an economic model that's running out of steam. growth has slowed way down. i don't think that should concern or surprise anyone. if china could grow, you know somewhere between 6% and 7% on a sustainable basis with a model that works, that's a very good thing for china and for the rest of the world. they've been overly reliant not just on exports, but they been overly reliant on -- at the municipal level, which mayors are using to fund growth drive growth investing in infrastructure. they need to adjust their economic policies and be less reliant on investment and infrastructure and open up the economy to more competition from the private sector. and their leaders, you know, the new pres
