Is China Reforming Its Economy?

VIEW EVENT DETAILS  

In collaboration with Asia Society Policy Institute and Rhodium Group

At a time of heightened tension in U.S.-China relations, understanding if China is reforming its economy is critical for business leaders and investors. Important questions loom regarding whether the Chinese government is becoming more open to foreign trade and investment, pursuing structural reforms needed to sustain economic growth, and ensuring fair and market-based competition between domestic and foreign companies. Since 1978, China has made great strides in economic reform, generating both growth opportunities and also disruptions at home and abroad. However this process is far from complete, and the challenges remaining are complex.

Join Asia Society Texas Center for a conversation on China’s economy, the state of the government’s reform agenda, and the resulting impact on relations with the U.S. and other countries.

This event will be the first Texas presentation of the China Dashboard, an interactive web dashboard launched in 2017 by the Asia Society Policy Institute and Rhodium Group. The Dashboard tracks China’s progress toward its self-defined economic reform goals. The online project, updated quarterly, allows readers to explore indicators on financial system reform, trade, cross-border investment, state-owned enterprise reform, fiscal realignment, and other critical areas.

Please visit http://chinadashboard.asiasociety.org for the Dashboard’s latest analysis. The fall 2018 update will be released in October 2018 just prior to this event.
