Navigating Choppy Waters: China's Economic Decision-Making at a Time of Transition
After 35 years of spectacular growth, the Chinese economy is in the midst of a challenging transition toward a “new normal.”
Even as President Xi Jinping has put forward an ambitious and far-reaching economic reform agenda, implementation is struggling against the backdrop of slowing growth and a more pluralized political economy.
Whether or not Beijing succeeds or fails in its efforts, China’s economic trajectory in coming years will have a substantial impact on the prospects for U.S. and global growth, as well as on broader American interests in the Asia-Pacific region and the world. The Simon Chair has recently completed a two-year study of China’s economic decision-making designed to shed light on this important topic and help inform U.S. economic strategy towards a rapidly changing China. We hope you will join us for the rollout of the results of this study and a stimulating discussion of China’s political economy.
