    This Saturday, I’m going to be at King’s College London for the 8th Young China Watchers-King’s College London China Conference. I will be joining Rory Green, the chief China economist at TS Lombard Research Partners, and Andrew People, the News Editor at The Wire China on the discussion “Is China’s 5% GDP growth target still in reach?” I’m especially keen to bring up the idea of alternative metrics for institutions like the IMF and World Bank.
