China’s economy is showing multiple signs of weakness. Actual growth seems below the official figures; there is substantial deflation; the housing market has yet to stabilize; and the domestic stock markets have fallen significantly. Domestic confidence is flagging, and foreign investment in 2023 was at a three-decade low. Are we witnessing the early days of an emerging full-blown economic crisis, is this just a deeper than unusual cyclical downturn, or are the worries vastly overblown? How should international investors and other governments respond?
At this online event, CSIS Trustee Chair Scott Kennedy will seek answers to these questions to a stellar group of economic experts: Steven Barnett, Senior Resident Representative in China for the International Monetary Fund; Logan Wright, Partner at the Rhodium Group; Yanmei Xie, Geopolitics Analyst with Gavekal; Kiyoyuki Seguchi, Research Director at the Canon Institute for Global Studies; and Eunice Yoon, Beijing Bureau Chief at CNBC.
This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
