Asia Society is pleased to host a roundtable conversation with Michael J. Enright on his new book, Developing China: The Remarkable Impact of Foreign Direct Investment. The discussion will focus on the role foreign direct investment has played in China’s economic development. Enright estimates that the impact of foreign investment is far larger than is generally understood, and that most multinational companies vastly underestimate their own impact on China’s economy.
