China's transition at home and abroad
Tuesday, July 21, 2015, 9:00 AM — 12:30 PM
The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20036
As
China transitions from an economy driven by exports to an economy
driven by consumption, the effects are being felt worldwide. In spite of
this economic “new normal,” China has also become increasingly active
in seeking a role in global governance as exemplified by the recent
establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the “one
belt, one road” development strategy. On the other side of the globe,
the state of the U.S. economy remains uncertain, breeding serious
concern regarding future U.S. economic policies.
On July 21,
The John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution will
bring together key insiders from the policymaking communities in China
and the United States to explore the issues raised by China’s rise and
economic transition.
Following each panel, the speakers will take audience questions. Join the conversation on Twitter by following @BrookingsChina.
