A new Chinese language

Asiamoney's deputy editor, Pauline Loong, has been writing about China for 22 years – since the earliest days of the country's modern integration with the rest of the world's markets. After speaking with some of the country's most powerful financial figures, from the central bank assistant governor to the heads of domestic banks and corporations, she believes the country is changing from the top down – and that there is growing evidence of a changing mindset from socialist doctrine to profit-led, market-friendly opportunism.
