Overview of the political and economic risks facing China.

China faces formidable threats to its political and economic stability, ranging from the urgent to the insidious.

Economic risks include demographic ageing, debt, automation and the 'middle-income trap'.
Significant political risks include a backlash against Xi’s rise at home and a backlash against China’s rise internationally.
Critical uncertainties include international crises, the consequences of generational change and the risk of an environmental tipping point.
