The China Economic Quarterly (CEQ) is an independent newsletter devoted to analysis of the Chinese economy and business environment since 1997. It draws on the 25 years of combined experience of its editors, veteran financial journalists Joe Studwell (author of The China Dream) and Arthur Kroeber, and also publishes articles by leading China-focused economists and journalists. This column appears exclusively on FT.com on alternate Mondays. Visit the CEQ online at http://www.dragonomics.net - -
