Please join the Freeman Chair in China Studies for the launch of our new report, Perfecting China, Inc.: The 13th Five Year Plan. Despite the explosive growth of the private sector in China’s economy over the last several decades, and a diminution of the role of planning in the management of an increasingly diverse economic landscape, the Chinese Communist Party’s five-year plans remain the most authoritative strategic vision on the direction of the country’s economic and social policies. Our report analyzes the recently released 13th Five-Year Plan in order to provide a window into the dynamics of China’s policy process, the trajectory of Chinese economic policies, and the implications of the plan for the business community.
