What lies ahead for China’s economy? What does it mean for the world?

China’s economy is facing increasing uncertainty, with both challenges and new opportunities on the horizon. Coupled with a complex and ever-changing global environment, 2025 will be a year that demands close attention.

With the conclusion of the Two Sessions, the Chinese government is expected to introduce more comprehensive economic policies and strategies. What key trends and changes should we focus on in China’s economy? What analytical frameworks should we use to understand China’s economic landscape today? How will the rapidly shifting international landscape create both opportunities and challenges? In the face of intensifying technological competition and rapid advancements, how can we grasp future development trends? And most importantly, what do all these changes mean for the world?

To explore these pressing questions, the 725 Salon is honored to invite Professor Liu Qiao, Dean of the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University and a renowned Chinese economist, for an in-depth discussion and analysis.

This salon will be conducted in Chinese, with AI-generated English subtitles.

中国经济会怎么样？对我们意味着什么？

中国经济面临越来越多的不确定性，挑战与机遇并存，加之复杂多变的国际环境，2025年将是更加值得密切关注的一年。

随着两会的结束，中国政府将会出台更加完整的经济政策和态度，中国经济将会有哪些值得关注的焦点和变化？我们应当用怎样的框架来分析今天的中国经济？激烈变化的国际局势将会带来怎样的机遇和挑战？面对愈演愈烈的科技竞争和技术迭代，如何把握未来的发展趋势？以及，所有这些变化的背后，对于我们意味着什么？

为此，本次725沙龙特别邀请了北京大学光华管理学院院长、中国知名经济学家刘俏教授，就这些问题与我们进行深度探讨和分析。
