Threats to growth in china


Executives see a variety of social, economical, and environmental threats to china’s continued growth and development. They economic and social issues are far more important than environmental ones.
For instance, though 63 percent of the respondents cite pollution as a threat to the growth, when asked to weigh it against economic and social issues, 80 percent choose a treat other than pollution as the most significant.
Across all issues, pollution is the only health or environmental issue among the top five. The other issue poses the greatest threat to China’s continued growth and development:
1. Rising income inequality
2. Poor enforcement of commercial laws and regulations
3. Shortage of qualified talent
4. Aging population
5. Official corruption
6. Weak financial institutions.
