The Economist Who Terrifies the West

Western economists are afraid of China’s rise.
But what truly terrifies them is something much deeper.

The person who may understand the future of the global economy better than anyone else isn’t in Washington, London, or at the IMF.

She’s in Beijing.

Keyu Jin occupies a space almost no one else does — educated in the West, shaped by China’s rise, and able to see the invisible assumptions that blind both systems.

This documentary explores why her ideas make Western institutions uncomfortable, why China’s hybrid economic model defies traditional theory, and why the 21st century may not converge on a single economic system.

This is not propaganda.
This is not about choosing sides.

It’s about understanding a world that no longer fits the old rules.
