About the talk
With the release of China’s 14th Five Year Plan, President Xi Jinping set his sights on China’s becoming a high-income country by 2035. Drawing on the experience of other countries which have escaped from the middle-income trap, this talk will assess China’s prospects for continued rapid growth over the medium term. It will also discuss the opportunities and challenges for Canada.
