Slowing growth and a government crackdown on corruption are roiling political undercurrents in China. Slower growth may be necessary to reduce the country's debt dependency and address environmental pollution. But will the slowdown lead to greater productivity or a hard landing? Will unemployment rise as share prices diminish? Concurrently, China's leaders are trying to address egregious corruption in business and government. But some worry that the anti-corruption drive is a pretext to dismantle opposing factions and secure President Xi Jinping's legacy and political longevity. What does this portend in a country where political power emanates from internal appointments rather than free elections? Will the contest among factions disrupt China's economic and political balance? Can China rekindle growth and achieve greater influence?
