🚨 Webinar heads-up 🚨 On 15 May, the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) will be hosting a free webinar, featuring Markus Herrmann 陈瑞华 of the China Macro Group in discussion with Lu Feng, Emeritus Professor of Economics and former Deputy Dean of Peking University's National School of Development, on the subject of China's "market-oriented reforms". The talk promises to address themes of the influence of CCP ideology on the market, the liberalisation of factors of production, how to balance government interventions vs China's #innovation needs, policy trends regarding capital, the evolution of #IntellectualProperty protections, and more. The webinar will be conducted as "off the record", so it'll be a unique opportunity for China watchers and policy aficionados to glean expert insights and put their questions to Prof. Lu.

So CSIS has this fascinating discussion on China policy, and it's really, really fascinating how the American view of the world is just *different* from the Chinese view of the world. China has been around for 5000 years, and the goals of Chinese foreign policy in 2024 are basically what they were in 1830 at the start of the Opium Wars. So once you have centuries of history, the concept of an "end state" just makes no sense at all. History has no end state. For someone who is Chinese, your life is just a tiny, tiny part of a long story that started long before you were born and continue long after you die. Americans just have difficulty thinking in these timescales. One interesting fact is that 10 percent of the history of the US has elapsed since the end of the Cold War. Also the fundamental problem with US foreign policy toward China is the fundamental problem with US foreign policy in general. Can someone tell me what the *goal* of US foreign policy is? Okay, maybe maintainence of the current unipolar system. So how long will that last? 10 years. 50 years. 100 years. 1000 years. Does the US seriously think that it can freeze time in 1991 and then the world won't change until 2991. That won't work. https://lnkd.in/gjTQGRj2

A reminder of tomorrow's webinar (09h00–09h45 CET) with Prof. Feng LU on #China's "market-oriented reforms". As one of the topics addressed should be balancing Chinese government interventions with the country's economic and security needs, recent developments provide a wealth of talking or question points: the US Congressional #TikTok 'kill bill', #Blinken's visit at the end of April, #CCP sabre-rattling towards #Taiwan, and the triadic relationship between China, the US and Taiwan, in both security and economic terms, etc. My two most recent #translation pieces for #LettersFromCathay provide views and #opinion on Blinken's recent visit: 🔎 from Taiwan's perspective > https://lnkd.in/dX4xkWJm 🔎 from China's perspective > https://lnkd.in/dMqUXdvH Webinar registration link in the original post, below!👇 #InternationalRelations #Commerce #Investment #IntellectualProperty

It is always nerve wracking when starting to write a book - particularly when the topic is geo-politically sensitive. Even more so when we have seen significant shifts from the old China engagement approach of constructive engagement to the emerging paradigm of managing emerging conflicts as economies see trade and China engagement through the Lense of strategic and sovereign competition. The basic structure of the book has been drafted and attached. Feel free to comment and if you wish to be included in the book by supplying personal insights and / or anecdotes, feel free to message me and what Chapter would be appropriate to include it into. As this is primarily a qualitative look at Logink and China's spreading Digital footprint under the banner of the BRI, it requires a certain level of self reflection and awareness of biases and the impact on policy positions when constructing a trade / economic / political interface and exchange with China.

China’s Third Plenum: A Plan for Renewed Reform? Center for Strategic & International Studies 22 Jul 2024 Join CSIS for a discussion of one of the most anticipated meetings in China in recent years. Observers are looking to see whether China’s leadership will announce steps to effectively address a wide range of economic challenges, including slowing growth, a struggling real estate market, an ageing population, rising debt, and growing frictions with trading partners. CSIS China experts Jude Blanchette (Freeman Chair), Bonny Lin (China Power Project) and Scott Kennedy (Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics) will be joined by Daniel H. Rosen (Rhodium Group) and Lingling Wei (Wall Street Journal). Together they will break down the politics of the meeting, developments in economic policy, and the implications for Chinese foreign policy and relations with the rest of the world.

What are the implications of thinking about Chinese economic strategy through the lens of this concept? To help us unpack this, I am joined by Professor Yan LIANG from Willamette University, in the USA to discuss this. The conversation is wide ranging, and goes into questions of productivity at a production level, as well as capital productivity at a system / transactions flow level. We touch on questions of money, credit and arguments about China's focus on investment and whether this comes at the expense of household consumption. (Hint: it doesn't.)
