Essay Competition: Is China's Growth Sustainable?

The Diplomat magazine is sponsoring an essay competition: Is China’s growth sustainable? The competition is open to students age 18-25 (on or before October 1, 2010). Applicants must be a resident or national of an APEC country. The deadline to apply is September 21.

Applicants should address the following question: Fifteen years ago, APEC leaders meeting in Japan called for joint action "to ensure the region’s economic prosperity is sustainable." But is it realistic to believe that APEC’s largest member, China, can grow rapidly and sustainably?
