Tsinghua Professor, Patrick Chovanec ’92, featured in the WSJ About the Health of Chinese Banks

Patrick Chovanec ’92, associate professor at Tsinghua’s School of Economics and Management, recently had an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal on the worrying health of China’s banking system. Prof. Chovanec’s op-ed piece, which is entitled “Chinese Banks Are Worse Off Than You Think”, argues that the while officials reassure that Chinese banks are in good shape based on a few important indicators, in actual fact these indicators disguise underlying intrinsic problems which afflict the entire banking system.

Prof. Chovanec is regularly featured in both prominent Chinese and Western media about a wide variety of economic issues. He regularly blogs about his thoughts on China’s economy on his personal blog which can be found here. Recently, the PAABJ has been fortunate to hear directly from Prof. Chovanec in a series of dinners co-hosted together with the Stanford Alumni Association of Beijing.
