China Executive Briefing

An initiative of Asia Society Australia in partnership with China Policy

China Executive Briefing is an initiative of Asia Society Australia and China Policy to provide up-to-date, impartial and accessible analysis of China’s economic policies and trends and their implications for Australia.

Australia’s relationship with China is at one of its lowest points in recent history due to a combination of strategic, political and trade disputes, and the fundamental shifts in China’s growth trajectory. Yet China remains Australia’s largest trading partner, the leading economy in the region and a global technology and innovation leader. While the irritants and fault lines in the bilateral relationship are well known, the shifts and drivers of Chinese economy and their impact on Australia are less understood.

More than ever Australian leaders in business, government and academia need to be informed about policy developments in China to make organisational decisions and manage opportunities and risks.

China Executive Briefing presents quarterly analysis of China’s economic policies and trends in the areas most pertinent to Australia, and executive briefings with leading experts from Australia, China and around the world.
