Four decades after China emerged from Maoist isolation, the country remains an enigma to many policy makers, academics, and businesspeople. To help better understand
modern day China, please join us for an hour long, interactive conversation with three leading China experts who have spent all or part of their upbringing in China.
Aided and empowered by the digital revolution, China seems to have emerged from the COVID-19 crisis stronger than ever. As Mark Schneider, the global boss of the
world’s biggest food company, Nestle, famously remarked, “If you want to see the future, look at China.” Yet, rosy as its outlook is, it also faces numerous challenges and barriers to its continued growth, including an aging population, reliance on foreign
technology, and limited success of its multinationals in the United States.
Join us as we seek to gain insights into the legal, political, and business environment of modern-day China. We’ll explore topics such as China’s COVID diplomacy,
its belt and road initiative, large state-owned enterprises, local politics, its continuing rivalry with the United States, and many more!
Key takeaways
1.
Gain insights into the paradoxes of modern day, contemporary China: its politics, legal system, and its business environment.
2.
Learn more about how the digital revolution is empowering China’s growth, both inside and outside of the country.
3.
