About this episode
A crisis that began in China’s housing market is now threatening to drag down the country’s entire economy.
If that happens, the repercussions will be felt across the globe, and nowhere more so than Australia – where our economy relies on what China buys from us.
So just how unstable is the Chinese economy right now? And how did things change for the superpower once seen as an unstoppable economic force?
Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe on the alarming signs in the Chinese economy, and what they could mean for us.
