SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Lecture Series featuring David Dollar - China’s Economy Faces Domestic and External Challenges
DESCRIPTION:https://soundcloud.com/fairbank-center/chinas-economy-faces-domestic-and-external-challenges-with-david-dollar?in=fairbank-center/sets/public-lecture-series-fairbank \nSpeaker: David Dollar\, Senior Fellow\, Foreign Policy\, Global Economy and Development\, John L. Thornton China Center\, Brookings Institution \nChina has gotten COVID-19 under control and is poised to bounce back strongly with 8% growth in 2021.  But in the medium term it faces daunting domestic and external challenges. On the domestic side\, demographic shifts will result in a declining labor force and put a premium on geographic mobility\, especially rural-urban migration. Also\, over-reliance on investment has led to an alarming rise in debt to GDP\, risking a financial crisis. To grow well while managing these issues of labor and investment will require more innovation as a source of growth. On the external side\, the trade war with the U.S. is not likely to be resolved quickly with the new Biden administration.  China’s recent agreements with Asian partners and Europe\, however\, provide new opportunities that complement domestic reforms. \nDavid Dollar is a senior fellow in the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution and host of the Brookings trade podcast\, Dollar&Sense. He is a leading expert on China’s economy and U.S.-China economic relations. From 2009 to 2013\, Dollar was the U.S. Treasury’s economic and financial emissary to China\, based in Beijing\, facilitating the macroeconomic and financial policy dialogue between the United States and China. Prior to joining Treasury\, Dollar worked 20 years for the World Bank\, serving as country director for China and Mongolia\, based in Beijing (2004-2009). His other World Bank assignments focused on Asian economies\, including South Korea\, Vietnam\, Cambodia\, Thailand\, Bangladesh\, and India. Dollar also worked in the World Bank’s research department. His publications focus on economic reform in China\, globalization\, and economic growth. He also taught economics at University of California Los Angeles\, during which time he spent a semester in Beijing at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 1986. He has a doctorate in economics from New York University and a bachelor’s in Chinese history and language from Dartmouth College. \nPart of the Critical Issues Confronting China Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Jessica Chen Weiss - A World Safe for Autocracy: The Domestic Politics of China’s Foreign Policy
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jessica Chen Weiss\, Associate Professor of Government\, Cornell University \nHow does China’s domestic governance shape its foreign policy? What role do nationalism and ideology play in Beijing’s regional and global ambitions? The Chinese leadership has been at once a revisionist\, defender\, reformer\, and free-rider in the international system—insisting rigidly on issues that are central to its domestic survival\, while showing flexibility on issues that are more peripheral. To illuminate this variation and prospects for conflict and cooperation\, Weiss will discuss her new book project\, which theorizes and illustrates the domestic-international linkages in Beijing’s approach to issues ranging from sovereignty and homeland disputes to climate change and COVID-19. \nJessica Chen Weiss is Associate Professor of Government at Cornell University. She is the author of Powerful Patriots: Nationalist Protest in China’s Foreign Relations (Oxford University Press\, 2014). The dissertation on which it is based won the 2009 American Political Science Association Award for best dissertation in international relations\, law and politics. \nHer work has appeared or is forthcoming in International Organization\, China Quarterly\, Journal of Conflict Resolution\, and Security Studies. Her research has been supported by the National Science Foundation\, Cornell Einaudi Center\, Cornell Center for Social Sciences\, Uppsala University\, Princeton-Harvard China & The World Program\, Bradley Foundation\, Fulbright-Hays program\, and University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. \nBorn and raised in Seattle\, Washington\, Weiss received her Ph.D. from the University of California\, San Diego. Before joining Cornell\, she was an assistant professor at Yale University (2009-2015) and founded FACES\, the Forum for American/Chinese Exchange at Stanford\, while an undergraduate at Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China Series featuring Luke Patey — How China Loses: The Pushback Against Chinese Global Ambitions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Luke Patey\, Senior Researcher\, Danish Institute for International Studies \nAt a time when many are fixated on US-China strategic competition\, how will China’s relations with the rest of the world shape its future power? From its Belt and Road Initiative linking Asia and Europe\, to its “Made in China 2025” strategy to dominate high-tech industries\, to its significant economic reach into Africa and Latin America\, China appears primed to become the world’s dominant superpower. But China also faces considerable new risks and challenges. Drawing on studies of selected countries in East Africa\, Latin America\, Europe\, and East Asia\, Luke Patey will discuss how many countries are recognizing that relations with China can undermine their independence and competitiveness and are working together to recalibrate their engagement \nDr. Luke Patey is a senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies and Lead Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies\, University of Oxford. He is author of the new book\, How China Loses: The Pushback Against China’s Global Ambitions (Oxford University Press\, 2021). His work focuses on the intersection of China’s trade\, investment\, and finance with its foreign and security policy. His articles have appeared in The New York Times\, Financial Times\, The Guardian\, The Hindu\, Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy. He holds a doctorate and MSc from the Copenhagen Business School and a bachelor degree from Queen’s University. Patey’s last book was The New Kings of Crude: China\, India\, and the Global Struggle for Oil in Sudan and South Sudan (Hurst\, 2014). \nPart of the Critical Issues Confronting China Series \nPresented via Zoom Webinar \n\n\nTranscript: Download Transcript
