China's Challenges

Business Daily

Available for over a year

As the world watches China's rise, cracks are beginning to appear. Few outside the cities have a pension and the 'one child policy' has robbed many of their traditional means of support - a large family. As the population rapidly ages, Jonny Dymond asks Xiaobing Wang how China can square the circle? And a more innocent age has passed with the Stuxnet, a virus designed to attack not just information technology infrastructure, but the running of specific machines. Business Daily's technology guru Jeremy Wagstaff ponder the brave new world of grown-up viruses.
