Due to the U.S. government shutdown, the Consul General will not be able to speak at this month's member briefing but will speak at the February 12th session. For AmCham Shanghai's first Monthly Member Briefing of 2019, Trivium Co-founder Andrew Polk will brief on what lies ahead for the Chinese economy in 2019. The talk will take place on Tuesday, January 15 from 17:30 to 19:30 at the Jing An Four Seasons (500 Weihai Road). After a tumultuous 2018, the Chinese economy starts 2019 plagued by uncertainty caused in part by U.S.-China trade tensions, lower growth numbers, slower consumption and the continuing trickle of economic reform promises. How will these trends continue to impact the Chinese economy and what should companies be aware in the upcoming year? Mr. Polk will provide an overview of the major trends impacting the Chinese economy in 2019 and strategies on how companies should manage these trends.


AmCham Shanghai's member-only Monthly Member Briefing is an exclusive opportunity to hear from top government officials and experts on political and economic trends impacting businesses in China.
