China Summit

As the dust of the recent economic crisis begins to settle, a new landscape is emerging. For many countries, the terrain is unsettling: an environment of austerity, low-growth, high risk and curtailed ambition. Against this backdrop, the resilient rise of China stands in deep contrast. Its economy is forecast to sail past Japan’s this year to become the world’s second biggest. The country’s geopolitical influence is expanding at a similar pace, while China’s companies grow ever bolder and its people ever more educated. The waves created by this seismic shift are surging across the globe. And yet, for all the seeming predictability of its rise, few people truly understand China’s gathering impact on global economics, business, politics, governance, science and society.

  

 Organised by Economist Conferences, the China Summit draws together a broad range of business leaders, politicians, policy-makers and academics to debate and discuss these critical questions. With The Economist’s characteristic clarity and wit, and a passion for overturning dogma, the forum offers fresh and challenging perspectives on the role, risks and opportunities of China in a post-crisis world.

  

 Topics for discussion include:
<ul>
 <li>
 How have China’s ambitions changed? What new policies will the government use to achieve them?</li>
 <li>
 The world’s most exciting economy? China’s economy continues to power forward – how might the nature of growth and economic activity in the country change?</li>
