Our one-day conference, Made in China 2025: The Policy Behind the Rhetoric, held at Stanford University on January 15th, 2019 brought together policy experts, technologists, and business leaders together to discuss China's Made in China 2025 industrial policy. The conference featured engaging discussion from bright-minded speakers and members of the audience and paved the way for a refined discourse on Chinese industrial policy and its impacts at home and abroad.
