Countries around the globe are nervously watching what is happening to the Chinese economy - and fear the potential knock on effects.
New government statistics say China's GDP grew last year by almost seven percent - many other countries would be delighted by that.
But its the lowest growth for 25 years - and another sign that the heady days of record-breaking economic expansion are long gone.
The true situation could be even worse - some analysts do not believe the official data.
As the world's second biggest economy again stalls, countries which export commodities such as oil and iron ore to China are suffering - with the possibility of worse to come.
So, what has gone wrong? And should the world be concerned?
Presenter: Sami Zeidan
Guests:
Pauline Loong - Managing director of Asia-Analytica and analyst on China's political economy
Chris Watling - Chief market strategist at Longview Economics.
Michele Geraci - Professor of finance at Zhejian University and an economic adviser to governments, corporations and investors in China

Over 100,000 Chinese millionaires have moved to Vancouver, sparking everything from a reality show, to a property boom and unaffordable housing. Are Canada's millionaire migrants a blessing or a curse?
For the glamorous and beautiful second generation millionaires - or fuerdai, of Chinese descent - Vancouver is a home away from home. "Vancouver is caught changing from a Canadian to a Chinese town. For myself I'm caught in between Chinese and Canadian", says Chelsea Jiang, one of the young stars of hit reality show, "Ultra Rich Asian Girls". Their lavish spending and lives of luxury are transforming the landscape of Canada's coastal city. The "Chinese brought you great food and better economy, what's there to complain about?" asks Jiang, who benefited from Canada's immigrant investment program. It incentivised foreigners with at least 1.6 million Canadian Dollars to come to Canada. But despite their wealth and purchasing power, the program was cancelled, and is seen as responsible for making Vancouver the second least affordable city in the world. "Clearly the immigrant investor program has just been an abject failure, in terms of fostering economic growth and in terms of fostering business growth and jobs", says local journalist, Ian Young. "This isn't really an issue about race, this is an issue about wealth", he says.

China -- a superpower emerging at breakneck speed. It's the Holy Grail for risk-taking entrepreneurs. Every day, hundreds of British businessmen arrive full of hope and expectation. It's the land of opportunity. It's a place where dreams can come true. But Chinese entrepreneurs, unleashed after 50 years of communism, are taking no prisoners in their own relentless quest for wealth. In the wild east, only the toughest will survive.
These British businessmen are risking everything as they venture into the real dragon's den. Who will make their fortune and who will return home penniless? Tony Caldera's cushion business has been ruined by cheap Chinese imports. Today, his Liverpool factory stands deserted. There were hundreds of people working there. They all had jobs for life. They were the number-one cushion maker probably in Europe. Everything was made in England, and life was great, and they were all happy. All of a sudden, China has come along, and they just can't compete anymore.
In a last-ditch attempt to salvage his business, Tony is taking a huge gamble. He's borrowed two million pounds to build a factory in a paddy field in China. Thirty-six-year-old Tony has bought a one-way ticket to Linping, a city in the heart of China's vast textile industry. If everything goes according to plan, Tony can rebuild his business and regain his crown as the king of cushions.
On his first trip to China, Tony had a chance encounter with a woman called Miss Di. She convinced him that for a 30% share of the company, she'd make an excellent business partner. If you're going to do some business in China, you need a good Chinese business partner and he's got one. Miss Di has been supervising the construction of the factory and has now invited Tony to see the completed two-million-pound building. But when he arrives, things aren't quite as okay as he expected.

Chinas economic downturn has badly hit the millions of migrant workers who leave their remote villages for the industrial South. At the world's factory, competition is fierce and jobs are scarce.
"There are over 2000 people in our village. About 700 of them go to Guandong looking for jobs. The older people stay at home working the fields." In rural China, the young leave their homes in droves to find better paid jobs in the city. Like millions of others, Xiong Yan is desperate to find work, so that she can help provide for her family. "My family is poor. Usually I'll send them my salary."
At the overcrowded employment agency, dozens anxiously wait to get an appointment. "They're left with no social security, healthcare, or education rights in the city. Salaries are very low." Dr Kaimings NGO specialises in the rights of migrant workers. He believes they have been exploited by employers with the blessing of a government that had its eyes set on economic growth at any cost. "The biggest threat is that unemployed migrant workers may start to protest against the government" says Dr Kaiming. Discontent is growing but migrants in search of work keep flooding in. Although new labour laws were introduced, the economic climate means job seekers will have to accept lower wages and worse conditions.

China just lost over $3 trillion of stock value, what this means to you, your house, your money, your future and your chances for true economic and political freedom.
After more than doubling in value over the last year despite a slowing economy and weak corporate earnings reports - the stock market in China is in a freefall. While the eyes of the world are on Greece and the European Union – China’s economy is imploding.
Since June 12th, 2015, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index has fallen 31.2% - wiping out over $3.2 trillion USD of the markets total value - and there seems to be no immediate end to the market plunge in sight. There Will Be No Economic Recovery. Prepare Yourself Accordingly.

Economy of China
China's socialist market economy is the world's second largest economy by nominal GDP, and the world's largest economy by purchasing power parity according to the IMF, although China's National Bureau of Statistics rejects this claim. Until 2015 China was the world's fastest-growing major economy, with growth rates averaging 10% over 30 years, until it was surpassed by neighbouring India. Due to historical and political facts of China's developing economy, China's public sector accounts for a bigger share of the national economy than the burgeoning private sector.
China is a global hub for manufacturing, and is the largest manufacturing economy in the world as well as the largest exporter of goods in the world. China is also the world's fastest growing consumer market and second largest importer of goods in the world. China is a net importer of services products.
China is the largest trading nation in the world and plays a vital role in international trade, and has increasingly engaged in trade organizations and treaties in recent years. China became a member of the World Trade Organization in 2001. China also has free trade agreements with several nations, including China–Australia Free Trade Agreement, China–South Korea Free Trade Agreement, ASEAN–China Free Trade Area, Switzerland and Pakistan.

Inside Story - Why is Chinese economy slowing?
Countries around the globe are nervously watching what is happening to the Chinese economy - and fear the potential knock on effects. New government statistics say China's GDP grew last year by almost seven percent - many other countries would be delighted by that. But its the lowest growth for 25 years - and another sign that the heady days of record-breaking economic expansion are long gone. The true situation could be even worse - some analysts do not believe the official data. As the world's second biggest economy again stalls, countries which export commodities such as oil and iron ore to China are suffering - with the possibility of worse to come. So, what has gone wrong? And should the world be concerned? Presenter: Sami Zeidan Guests: Pauline Loong - Managing director of As... -

Over 100,000 Chinese millionaires have moved to Vancouver, sparking everything from a reality show, to a property boom and unaffordable housing. Are Canada's millionaire migrants a blessing or a curse?
For the glamorous and beautiful second generation millionaires - or fuerdai, of Chinese descent - Vancouver is a home away from home. "Vancouver is caught changing from a Canadian to a Chinese town. For myself I'm caught in between Chinese and Canadian", says Chelsea Jiang, one of the young stars of hit reality show, "Ultra Rich Asian Girls". Their lavish spending and lives of luxury are transforming the landscape of Canada's coastal city. The "Chinese brought you great food and better economy, what's there to complain about?" asks Jiang, who benefited from Canada's immigrant investment program. It incentivised foreigners with at least 1.6 million Canadian Dollars to come to Canada. But despite their wealth and purchasing power, the program was cancelled, and is seen as responsible for making Vancouver the second least affordable city in the world. "Clearly the immigrant investor program has just been an abject failure, in terms of fostering economic growth and in terms of fostering business growth and jobs", says local journalist, Ian Young. "This isn't really an issue about race, this is an issue about wealth", he says.

China -- a superpower emerging at breakneck speed. It's the Holy Grail for risk-taking entrepreneurs. Every day, hundreds of British businessmen arrive full of hope and expectation. It's the land of opportunity. It's a place where dreams can come true. But Chinese entrepreneurs, unleashed after 50 years of communism, are taking no prisoners in their own relentless quest for wealth. In the wild east, only the toughest will survive.
These British businessmen are risking everything as they venture into the real dragon's den. Who will make their fortune and who will return home penniless? Tony Caldera's cushion business has been ruined by cheap Chinese imports. Today, his Liverpool factory stands deserted. There were hundreds of people working there. They all had jobs for life. They were the number-one cushion maker probably in Europe. Everything was made in England, and life was great, and they were all happy. All of a sudden, China has come along, and they just can't compete anymore.
In a last-ditch attempt to salvage his business, Tony is taking a huge gamble. He's borrowed two million pounds to build a factory in a paddy field in China. Thirty-six-year-old Tony has bought a one-way ticket to Linping, a city in the heart of China's vast textile industry. If everything goes according to plan, Tony can rebuild his business and regain his crown as the king of cushions.
On his first trip to China, Tony had a chance encounter with a woman called Miss Di. She convinced him that for a 30% share of the company, she'd make an excellent business partner. If you're going to do some business in China, you need a good Chinese business partner and he's got one. Miss Di has been supervising the construction of the factory and has now invited Tony to see the completed two-million-pound building. But when he arrives, things aren't quite as okay as he expected.

Chinas economic downturn has badly hit the millions of migrant workers who leave their remote villages for the industrial South. At the world's factory, competition is fierce and jobs are scarce.
"There are over 2000 people in our village. About 700 of them go to Guandong looking for jobs. The older people stay at home working the fields." In rural China, the young leave their homes in droves to find better paid jobs in the city. Like millions of others, Xiong Yan is desperate to find work, so that she can help provide for her family. "My family is poor. Usually I'll send them my salary."
At the overcrowded employment agency, dozens anxiously wait to get an appointment. "They're left with no social security, healthcare, or education rights in the city. Salaries are very low." Dr Kaimings NGO specialises in the rights of migrant workers. He believes they have been exploited by employers with the blessing of a government that had its eyes set on economic growth at any cost. "The biggest threat is that unemployed migrant workers may start to protest against the government" says Dr Kaiming. Discontent is growing but migrants in search of work keep flooding in. Although new labour laws were introduced, the economic climate means job seekers will have to accept lower wages and worse conditions.

China just lost over $3 trillion of stock value, what this means to you, your house, your money, your future and your chances for true economic and political freedom.
After more than doubling in value over the last year despite a slowing economy and weak corporate earnings reports - the stock market in China is in a freefall. While the eyes of the world are on Greece and the European Union – China’s economy is imploding.
Since June 12th, 2015, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index has fallen 31.2% - wiping out over $3.2 trillion USD of the markets total value - and there seems to be no immediate end to the market plunge in sight. There Will Be No Economic Recovery. Prepare Yourself Accordingly.
