BEIJING: By 2020, China is entering its fifth decade of sustained growth.

Ross Garnaut, an economics professor at the Australian National University in Canberra, is among those confident that China is about to enter an era of higher-quality growth, not least because demographics dictate that unlimited supplies of cheap labour will soon be a thing of the past. $ L" \' R( x* N4 b3 ~# j( l7 R
