Jim Chanos:Investing Behind the Great Wall

Hedge fund pro and short seller Jim Chanos believes that China’s overbuilding and overdependence on new real estate, when the demand isn’t there, will cause the nation to eventually “hit a wall.”
CNBC: “The problem is that consumption as a percentage of Chinese economy has declined in the last 10 years, from 40 to 35%. It’s all real estate,” Chanos said.
