China’s Economy After the Party Congress

Mon. October 2nd, 2017
Washington, DC

As China’s Nineteenth Party Congress approached, Carnegie scholars identified the economic factors that challenge China and the new leadership that will emerge from the Congress. How will the Chinese frame their policy choices? How should they? What are the implications for policymakers and business people who deal with China over the next five years?

Michael Pettis returned to Washington from Beijing to address these questions and more. Douglas H. Paal moderated.
