Understanding Contemporary China

Four decades after China emerged from Maoist isolation, the country remains an enigma to many policymakers, academics, and businesspeople. To help better understand modern-day China, please join GSU-CIBER for an hour-long, interactive conversation with three leading China experts who have spent all or part of their upbringing in China.
Aided and empowered by the digital revolution, China seems to have emerged from the COVID-19 crisis stronger than ever. As Mark Schneider, the global boss of the world’s biggest food company, Nestle, famously remarked, “If you want to see the future, look at China.” Yet, rosy as its outlook is, it also faces numerous challenges and barriers to its continued growth, including an aging population, reliance on foreign technology, and limited success of its multinationals in the United States.
Join this webinar as they seek to gain insights into the legal, political, and business environment of modern-day China. Topics that will be explored include China’s COVID diplomacy, its belt and road initiative, large state-owned enterprises, local politics, its continuing rivalry with the United States, and many more!
