Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged "more proactive" macroeconomic policies.

In a New Year's address, President Xi made a rare acknowledgment of the flagging economy while reiterating the government’s growth targets.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Lim Tai Wei, Professor of Business at Soka University shares his insights.
