Author Description

--> This book is an update of the competitiveness rankings for Greater China economies at the sub-national and regional level with the latest available data. The study uses a comprehensive methodology which measures competitiveness across four unique dimensions to provide an in-depth competitiveness analysis for the 34 economies and the five regions of Greater China. It then recommends policy prescriptions which would be relevant to each economy and region based on their specific strengths and weaknesses. Aside from exploring competitiveness, the book also analyses the growth slowdown phenomenon for Greater China economies by income thresholds. This volume is recommended for scholars and researchers interested in China's economic development. --> Contents: About ACI Foreword (by Professor Wang Gungwu) Preface (by Professor Kishore Mahbubani) Acknowledgements About the Authors List of Economies List of Abbreviations List of Tables and Figures China's Economic New Normal, Coping with Deeper Economic Restructuring and the One-Belt One-Road Strategy Organisation, Structure and Methodology 2016 Annual Update on Competitiveness Rankings and Simulation Studies for 34 Greater China Economies 2016 Annual Update on Regional Competitiveness Rankings and Simulation Studies for Greater China Growth Slowdown Analysis by Income Thresholds for Greater China Economies Diversifying and Seeking New Sources of Growth for China: Striving to Be a Global Economic Leader --> --> Readership: Scholars and researchers interested in China's economic development, categorised by regions and provinces. --> Keywords:Competitiveness;China;Growth Slowdown;Public Policy;Development StrategiesReview: "Professor Tan Khee Giap is developing important knowledge at the Asia Competitiv
