Xi Jinping As An Ordoliberal: China's Margins For Growth In 2022

Since the coronavirus outbreak of early 2020, and even more since early 2021, China has maintained restrictive policies for the public budget, credit and interest rates. There may therefore be more margins for government action and support to the economy than generally recognized.
