This program is closed to the media and will follow Chatham House Rule.

Asia Society Hong Kong Center is proud to present a dialogue between Stephen Roach, formerly the Hong Kong-based Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia and currently a senior fellow at the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School, and Ronnie C. Chan, Chairman of Asia Society Hong Kong Center, on the present and future of Hong Kong.

On February 12, Mr. Roach published an editorial in the Financial Times titled “It pains me to say that Hong Kong is over”.  The op-ed went viral, provoking much debate and discussion about changes in Hong Kong and its continuing relevance.  Join Asia Society Hong Kong Center to hear from Mr. Roach directly about the key messages from his editorial and how he views Hong Kong now, as he engages in what is sure to be a vigorous dialogue with Mr. Chan.

A rare combination of thought leadership on Wall Street and academia qualifies Stephen Roach as a leading practitioner of analytical macroeconomics. After thirty years at Morgan Stanley, mainly as the firm’s chief economist and eventually as the Hong Kong-based Chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, he joined the Yale faculty in 2010 where he developed popular new courses — “The Next China” and “The Lessons of Japan.”

A forecaster by training in his early days as a Fed economist, Stephen Roach has long been mindful of the perils of historical extrapolation. As seen through that lens, his vision of the “Next China” offers a unique template for the exciting but daunting possibilities of China’s uncertain future. Roach’s focus on the US-China relationship is an outgrowth of the interplay between two major strands of his professional experience—as a leading US economist and an influential analyst of a rising China. His two most recent books—Accidental Conflict (2022) and Unbalanced (2014)—draw extensively on that focus. He has a Ph.D. in economics from New York University and lives in New Canaan, CT.

Ronnie C. Chan is the Honorary Chair of Hang Lung Group Limited and its subsidiary Hang Lung Properties Limited, both publicly listed in Hong Kong. Hang Lung expanded into mainland China in 1992, developing, owning and managing world-class commercial complexes in key tier one and tier two cities. In 1986, Mr. Chan co-founded Morningside, a diversified investment group engaged in private equity and venture capital investments in North America, Asia, and Europe. He founded and chairs the China Heritage Fund, and is a cofounding Director of The Forbidden City Cultural Heritage Conservation Foundation in Beijing. Mr. Chan is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Chair Emeritus of the Asia Society and Chairman of its Hong Kong Center, and Co-Founder and Chairman of the Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society. He serves or has served on the governing or advisory bodies of several think tanks and universities, including: Peterson Institute for International Economics, World Economic Forum, East-West Center, Pacific Council on International Policy, Eisenhower Fellowships, The Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation, University of Southern California, Indian School of Business, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Yale University, Tsinghua University, and Fudan University.
