Political and economic challenges for China in 2010

A good summary of the year ahead in China: http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_id=14742402&source=features_box_main

Another interesting challenge in China is the sprawling size of its cities and the strains of absorbing so many migrants from rural areas and providing public services for its 500+ million urban residents. One problem is the long commutes people endure in Chinese cities http://www.economist.com/daily/chartgallery/displayStory.cfm?story_id=15106202 . My current commute is about 20 minutes walking. During rush hour, walking is faster than bus or car. Biking is almost always the best option.
