China's economy continued to grow in the first three months of this year, thanks to strong investment in infrastructure that offset the impact of weak consumer spending and a narrowing trade surplus. Exports, which support the economy, recorded their fastest quarterly growth in over four years. The program interviews Associate Research Fellow Wang Kuo-chen from the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research to provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of China's economy, the challenges it faces, the issue of RMB settlement, and the economic outlook for this year.
