Business in China 2015
Business in China 2015 September 11th 2015 • Shanghai Marriott Shanghai City Centre Grand Ballroom What will business in China look like in 2025? Powerful policy and market trends are upending the way business is done in the Middle Kingdom. The economy is undergoing a major structural shift as China evolves from being the world’s factory to one of its most significant consumer markets. An uncertain regulatory environment and greater competition from thriving local firms have led many to question whether the golden age for foreign multinationals in China is ending. But a more nuanced analysis suggests that a new era of opportunity may just be beginning. For savvy investors prepared to spend time understanding China’s unique characteristics, the spoils will be great. With the world’s largest population and second-largest national economy, China is still seen as the ultimate prize by many multinational corporations (MNCs) looking to expand their global reach. Chinese businesses are themselves at a promising juncture. A few world-beating e-commerce icons hint at what a dynamic force Chinese entrepreneurialism would be if the excesses of state capitalism could be tamed. Beijing seems to understand this: it has pledged to reform the large state-owned enterprises that dominate the economy. New financial products and finance-sector reforms could underpin a new phase of development. How will the rise of the dynamic private sector reshape China and the world? Can China become an innovation powerhouse? And do the coming changes herald a new era of growth? Timed to coincide with the launch of The Economist ’s first special report on business in China in over a decade, Business in China 2015 will bring together leaders from foreign and domestic business for a genuine dialogue that examines these questions. -

The Internal Roots of Economic Downturn in China https://www.e-ir.info/2012/07/27/the-internal-roots-of-economic-downturn-in-china/ ZHANG JUN, JUL 27 2012 The economic slowdown in the world today is likely to take a long time to settle. And, the global economy might be moving further downhill in the coming years rather than recovering. As for China, the economic slowdown will affect the country’s economy, but not only because of external factors. In the US the financial crisis has endured and produced a pattern of sluggish growth. The only promising factor behind the American economy is the corporate / business sector. Notwithstanding, high costs of production in the US introduce serious obstacles for the US to return to a manufacturing economy. The work remaining to be done is more a case of political slogging rather than an economic mechanism. If political solutions can be found, growth could increase by 1 or 2 %. Yet, there will be no return to the economy of the 1990s when the American economy boomed at 4%. On the other hand, the eurozone may take an even longer period to find a solution to its debt crisis. This is not an issue of political consensus alone, but also an issue of economic consistency among major European countries. -

Text and Subtext on the Silk Road
settling accounts with the Singapore model view in browser cp.leads 30 March 2015 text and subtext on the Silk Road The CCP unabashedly studied Lee Kuan Yew‘s rule over Singapore for three decades. On Lee’s death the most Beijing could do was describe its ties as a business affair. Omitting the word ‘friendly’ in its eulogy, China’s MFA took aim at his firm pro-US position. Lee’s disregard for human rights suited China, but his clean government measures were set aside on grounds of ‘Chinese characteristics’. What Lee saw as beyond challenge—e.g. US advances in innovation—China sees as no more than a leap away. Underlying this are two divergent narratives of Chineseness: Singapore a former colony proud of its rise in global ratings, China taking the high moral ground of indigenous values. The sage is gone—will his vision of universal values go with him? Singapore-China relations after Lee Kuan Yew Ding Dong 丁咚 | Sina Blog Regional strongman Lee Kuan Yew was in the end, it seems, a Trojan horse for Western values, and hence inadmissible to the highest hall of honour in Beijing’s temple of Chinese sagehood. Piqued at his prompting of Obama’s pivot to Asia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would give him no greater credit than ‘mutually beneficial cooperation’. The pivot is read in China as anti-Chinese; Lee’s clear distinction between China as a nation and the Beijing regime is denied by Beijing as manifest—not to say treacherous—nonsense. But in the non-PAP Singapore that Ding sees in the making, this is the most likely of Lee’s international relations doctrines to endure. -

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, under the strong leadership of President Xi Jinping, the Chinese Government has taken the most comprehensive, strictest and most thorough prevention and control measures to combat the outbreak. In their tenacious fight against COVID-19, 1.4 billion Chinese people have united together and made tremendous sacrifices during the present difficult times. -
China's High-Income Hopes
China’s High-Income Hopes http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/jun-zhang-explains-what-china-must-do-to-avoid-the-so-called-mid dle-income-trap Dr. Zhang Jun is Professor of Economics and Director of the China Center for Economic Studies at Fudan University. SHANGHAI – It is widely agreed that economic development means more than GDP growth. As China is now learning, one does not guarantee the other. Unless China’s leaders upgrade the country’s growth strategy to stimulate technological progress and structural transformation, high-income status will continue to elude the world’s second-largest economy and most populous country. To be sure, China’s growth strategy – powered by investment in infrastructure, a massive increase in low-cost manufacturing exports, and technology transfers – has led to some structural change. As labor and capital moved from low-productivity sectors and regions to high-productivity activities, resource allocation became more efficient, real wages rose, and the economic structure was upgraded. But the growth strategies that lift a poor country to middle-income levels cannot be counted upon to propel it to high-income status. Indeed, there is no shortage of countries whose leaders have failed to recognize their strategies’ constraints and provide enough incentives to encourage the emergence of a new one, causing their economies to stagnate and leaving them stuck in the so-called “middle-income trap.” Perhaps the most notable exceptions to this rule have been in East Asia, where four economies – South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore – responded to external crises and challenges by shifting their growth strategies.
