Dent: China's Economic Boom May Be Over

Harry Dent suggests China's economic growth might be peaking due to its one-child policy leading to a lack of young people and high debt levels. He points to 22% empty housing and offices as indicators that the country may not be able to drive a future boom, especially without infrastructure investment.
