Synopsis

China, together with India, is now driving the growth in Asia, if not the global economy. Yet, there are already signs that globalisation and rapid growth have brought immense pressures to China’s economy and domestic politics. What are the short to medium term risks to China's political and economic stability? What sort of trajectory might China be following? In light of these conditions, what are the opportunities for smaller economies in the region? These are some of the issues that Prof David M Lampton will discuss in his presentation.
