China is Down, Is it Out – What Does the Future Hold for the World’s Second Largest Economy?

What does China's economic future hold? Will the Chinese economy make a significant turnaround in 2023, rebound and resume its economic engine? Whether it does is of great significance to the world. Please join Professor Chris Tang, faculty director of UCLA Anderson’s Center for Global Management to discuss these issues and trends, and the potential long-term consequences for the domestic and global economies. He will also share his thoughts on China’s reopening and its role in global trade.

After three years of isolation, China is experiencing slow economic growth that has not been seen in 40 years, and a decline in population that has not been seen in decades. The sudden change of zero-COVID policy and subsequent reopening has also brought anxiety and relief. China is experiencing a debt mountain, the first decline in property invest in 20 years, a reluctance of private enterprises to invest, an increasingly low return on investment from infrastructure spending, and the consequences of decoupling. China’s previous great reopening, after the isolation of the Mao years, led to an explosion of prosperity as goods, people, investment and ideas surged across its borders in both directions. Both China and the world have benefited from such flows. Hopefully, China’s reopening will ultimately succeed but exactly how open the new China will be remains to be seen. Please join us for a thoughtful and balanced discussion.
