BEIJING -- Even before China became mired in a trade war with the U.S., there were already lingering concerns over the sustainability of its economic growth. Now, as relations remain tense between the two, a top economist says that the Chinese economy is strong enough to withstand this shock.
"I don't think that the Chinese economy can't endure the pressure of the trade war," said Zhou Qiren, a professor at the National School of Development at Peking University, who is widely regarded as a reformist economist.
