Freeman Chair Analysis of Xi Jinping During His First Term

Given the impending opening of the 19th Party Congress, we thought it would be helpful to share with you analysis we’ve conducted since late 2012 of China’s leadership politics and key policy areas. As you can see, China has been keeping us busy. Xi Jinping’s first term was anything but predictable and straightforward. Just as many China specialists had settled into a view of governance that was institutionalized, collective, and incrementalist, actual practice under Xi has looked decidedly different from this picture. We hope that our analysis reflects a willingness to be open to what we see occurring in China, not what we are used to seeing or what we want to see. We look forward to having China continue to test our skills of observation and analysis during the next five years. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions.

The Freeman Chair China Report, Issue 20 August 2017

By almost any measure, China’s economic performance over the past four decades is as impressive as the Great Wall is long. Since the late 1970s, the People’s Republic of China has grown faster for longer than any country in history -- ever. But just as the Great Wall wasn’t as effective as popularly imagined, the foundation of China’s economy is weak.

Furthermore, the dangers of an malfunctioning Chinese economy are monumental, not just for China but for the United States and everyone else.

Thoughts from the Chairman: U.S.-China Economic Relations: The Propeller Needs Oil

When Xi Jinping was China’s vice president visiting the United States in 2012, he declared that U.S.-China economic relations provide the ballast and the propeller for the entire bilateral relationship. President Xi is visiting the United States again this week. The ballast needs adjustment, and the propeller needs oil.

Thoughts from the Chairman: How to Pragmatically Respond to Greater Chinese Activism on the Global Stage

China wants to write the rules for the world’s fastest growing region. That would put our workers and businesses at a disadvantage. Why would we let that happen? We should write those rules. We should level the playing field. That’s why I’m asking both parties to give me trade promotion authority to protect American workers, with strong new trade deals from Asia to Europe that aren’t just free, but fair.
