Description

From the BBC World Service: China’s economy grew by 5% last year, beating expectations. This growth was driven by the country’s manufacturing sector, with those goods mainly heading to foreign markets. But China is still struggling to shake off a protracted property crisis, high local government debt and youth unemployment. We’ll discuss. And later on the program, we’ll hear about the economics and history of Italy’s traveling troubadours.
