Revitalizing China's Economy

China could deploy more stimulus -- and officials have more policy space and tools to do so than many other major economies, according to Weijian Shan, Executive Chairman of PAG, an Asia-based investment firm with more than $55 billion in assets under management. Despite being bullish on China's growth prospects, Shan says the nation still needs to find a way to pivot toward the consumer.

Shan, who grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and later counted Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen as his PhD adviser in the US, shares his thoughts on the world's second-largest economy and investment opportunities in Japan. He also discusses some of his biggest deals, including the $8 billion investment into one of the world's largest shopping mall managers. He joins John Lee and Katia Dmitrieva on the Asia Centric podcast.
