1- Would China be better or worse off, economically, if it privatized more of its substantial state-owned sector? [20 points]

2- Do you think the Chinese enterprises that received substantial funds at below-market interest rates from state-owned banks, such as Huawei, should be allowed to compete in international markets against private companies that received no such assistance? What policy remedies, if any, would you suggest here? [20 points]

3- As recently as last year, China has begun implementing much stricter controls over large sectors of its economy. This was sparked by many factors namely structural problems with the property and real estate market and excesses in the IT industry. The controls have affected giant industries such as real estate, IT, etc. This has been done in the name of rooting out corruption and stabilizing the economy (see Videos 1, 2, and 3 above). Based on what you have read and researched for this case study, what do you think about these new measures? Would they be effective in growing the Chinese economy even more? Or would it have a negative effect on the economy? [10 points]
