Speaking on CNBC's Worldwide Exchange, Carnegie's Michael Pettis noted that he believes China's new leardership understands the urgency of implementing economic reforms. However, he explained that he is only cautiously optimistic that reforms will actually be enforced, given that the groups who have benefitted from China's investment-driven miracle are unwillingly to see adjustments to China's economy.
