Webinar series – 3rd edition (2024)
CMG has developed a framework that helps us make sense of China’s evolving political economy and the strategic business context for foreign business on a structural level. We conceptualize China’s political economy as six structural transitions that Chinese policymakers have been shaping, and which since the adoption of the 14th Five-Year-Plan (2021-2025) notably also involve policy-steered trade-off and rebalancing processes.
To explore, debate and refine this conceptualization, we dedicated our 2024 ‘Staying in dialogue with China’ webinar series to these six structural transitions featuring six distinguished Chinese economists as expert speakers.
