Is China Headed For a Bust?

Analyst Vikram Mansharamani thinks China's construction bubble is going to burst, and he says the number of skyscrapers going up in the country is a clear indicator.

Mansharamani has developed a method of predicting construction booms and busts, and the building of skyscrapers is high on his list.

Mansharamani equates the skyscraper boom with the Dutch tulip mania of the 17th century.
