The Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI), Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), and China Finance 40 (CF40) are hosting the fourth annual China Economic Forum at Asia Society New York on Thursday, January 24. This year's discussion, on “Rebuilding or Decoupling: China-U.S. Financial Relations at a Crossroads," is especially timely given that we are at a critical juncture in U.S.-China relations and a period of uncertainty regarding the Chinese economy.

The program will feature two sessions. The first, from 8:40 to 10:15 a.m, will be on-the-record and serve as the launch of a new report, “Strengthening Market Mechanisms to Build a Modern Financial System in China.” Speakers in this session will include: Huang Yiping, Deputy Dean at Peking University’s National School of Development; Tom Orlik, Chief Economist at Bloomberg Economics; Sun Mingchun, CIO and Chief Economist at Deepwater Capital; Nicolas Veron, Senior Fellow at PIIE; and Xiao Gang, former Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. 

The second session, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., will be off-the-record and focus on bilateral and multilateral reform of the global financial system. Panelists for this discussion include Joseph Gagnon, Senior Fellow at PIIE; Guan Tao, Senior Fellow at CF40; Jin Zhongxia, Executive Director for China at the IMF, and Adam Posen, President of PIIE.

ASPI Vice President and former Acting Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Wendy Cutler will offer opening remarks.
