For three decades, China's economic juggernaut has seemed unstoppable. But in a year of political transition, environmental, social and business limits may pose challenges the modern Chinese economic system has not confronted before.
James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic and renowned China expert, considers China's potential to rise to a new level of technological success, and the change which that evolution may demand of the Chinese system.
Following the talk, Fallows will sign his newly released book, China Airborne, which will be available for sale.
This presentation is being held in partnership with The Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.
