This book is an update of the competitiveness rankings for Greater China economies at the sub-national and regional level with the latest available data. The study uses a comprehensive methodology which measures competitiveness across four unique dimensions to provide an in-depth competitiveness analysis for the 34 economies and the five regions of Greater China. It then recommends policy prescriptions which would be relevant to each economy and region based on their specific strengths and weaknesses.
Aside from exploring competitiveness, the book also analyses the growth slowdown phenomenon for Greater China economies by income thresholds. This volume is recommended for scholars and researchers interested in China's economic development.

"I like the growth slowdown research by the ACI very much. I don't think I have seen any similar Chinese research on the topic, especially at the sub-national level."
"This research offers a very solid database. It also sheds light on important policy implications which are presented in a very graphical manner for both central and local policymakers to use as a policy reference tool."
