Handel Jones, Author of Chinamerica, to Discuss China's Growth Trends at Golden Networking's 2nd China Conference

New York, NY, October 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Handel Jones, Chief Executive Officer, International Business Strategies, and author of "Chinamerica: The uneasy partnership that will change the world," will present at the panel "Taking Advantage of and Sustaining the Fast-Growing Chinese Economy" at Golden Networking's 2nd China Leaders Forum, "Challenges and Opportunities for China's Economic Juggernaut" (http://www.ChinaLeadersForum.com), October 6th, New York City.

China is already the world’s second largest economy, after 30 years where the average annual GDP growth rate was over 9.5%. Now even the Chinese central bank acknowledges that its rapid economic expansion will somehow slow in coming years. How companies can prepare for 7% to 8% growth for the next decade and 5% to 6% thereafter? How will the issue of quality of growth affect existing projections? Will we see the long-awaited transition to an economy driven by sustainable growth in household spending, rather than boom-and-bust cycles of investment? What opportunities and challenges lie ahead for companies that focus on the ever-growing Chinese middle class?
