China's transformation into a dynamic private-sector-led economy and its integration into the global economy have been among the most dramatic economic developments of recent decades. Indeed, China's growth performance over the last two decades has made it a major economic power. What are the key policy challenges that need to be addressed in order for China to maintain rapid growth and effectively manage the process of further global integration?
