The Chinese economy sits on a strategic yet worrying turning point from the high speed booming to a slower growth, which is conceptualized by the officials as the ‘New Normal’.
As a result, the Chinese government urges a ‘Supply-side Structural Reform’ to conquer this economic challenge. At the same time, the ongoing anti-corruption campaign is reshaping the fundamental rules of Chinese politics and business. The government-business relationship is transforming to a ‘New Type’, and it also provides unprecedented challenges and opportunities for new social forces. This talk aims to reveal how to understand those elusive yet vital jargons by the Chinese government and its underlying implications to China and the World.
