In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu covers the passing of Chinese economist Gao Shanwen—who was known for his outspoken views on China’s economy and capital markets, including the growth rate of China’s gross domestic product—and examines how his passing will affect the field. Next, Miles analyzes China’s recent submarine-based ballistic missile test in the Indo-Pacific and how this fits into China’s larger pattern of coercion and gray-zone warfare. Finally, he observes the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and highlights his lasting legacy, both on Japanese society and on the greater Indo-Pacific region.
