World wants to be part of China's remaking: Tharman

[SINGAPORE] While there will be risks as China rolls out its reform blueprint for the coming decade, the world's second-largest economy is filled with "tremendous potential" and one in which the rest of the world will want to have a stake in.

"China will be an economy with plenty of opportunities for the rest of us," said Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam at the start of the Singapore Management University's (SMU) inaugural China Forum yesterday.

More than 300 people attended the day-long event, including China Ambassador to Singapore Duan Jielong and former World Bank chief economist Justin Lin.
