  • He has been the top-ranked forecaster of China's economy since Bloomberg began its ranking in 2013.
  • "The recent depreciation in the yuan didn't result in large volatility in financial markets around the world, and there weren't heavy speculative positions shorting the currency or individuals trying to convert their yuan holdings into the dollar in a panic."
