July 24 -- Asianomics Group Deputy Chief Economist Sharmila Whelan discusses the economy in China, outlook for the country’s equities and their impact on commodities. She speaks with Francine Lacqua and Manus Cranny on Bloomberg Television’s “The Pulse.”

Their debt outstanding has increased remarkably…. The debt is accelerating way faster than the economy is growing.
