Ruchir Sharma, Founder of Breakout Capital and Chairman of Rockefeller International, points out China's consistent growth rate decline over the last 15 years. From 10% in the 2000s to 6% last decade, he projects it to slow down further to 2.5-3% annually in the coming decade due to declining population growth and high debt levels. Sharma believes that demographics and debt dynamics will hinder China's economic growth, making it unlikely to surpass 2.5-3% on a trend basis. This year, the official data expects a 5% growth rate for China.
