HONOLULU (Dec. 9, 2010) -- Since 1978, China’s economy has been growing rapidly. But will China’s “economic miracle” come to an end sometime in the near future?

Gregory, a University of Houston professor and East-West Center visiting scholar, started off by recounting examples of other economies that at one point had been pegged to overtake the U.S. Examples include the USSR in the ’50s, France’s postwar Trente Glorieuses period, and more recently Japan.
