As China prepares for the 19th Party Congress, one of the major questions is what direction will China’s leaders take on the economic reform? Despite many predictions, China continues to delay substantial economic reform while growing the economy. How long will this last? AmCham Shanghai is pleased to host a talk by Carnegie Asia Program Senior Fellow Yukon Huang on October 19 from 8:00 to 9:30 at the Pudong Grand Hyatt Hotel.

A frequent commentator and advisor to the World Bank, Mr. Huang will provide an overview of the forces shaping Beijing’s economic policies and predictions on the future of the Chinese economy. He will also provide highlights from his most recent book, Cracking the China Conundrum: Why Conventional Economic Wisdom Is Wrong.
