- Whether the rise of "economic nationalism" will hurt the prospects of multinationals,
- The influence of China's rising "princelings" (such as Bo Xilai, Pan Yue, etc) on PRC policy-making,
- The impact of the "Harmonious Society" ideal on an irrationally exuberant property market,
- China-U.S. relations up to the early 2010s,
- China's bid to become a quasi-superpower by the early 2020s,
- The Rule of Law as it related to legal reform, and the general future of political reform in the PRC
