China’s economy changes gears – the winners and the losers

 

CHINA’s economy has grown in leaps and bounds over the past decade, creating huge opportunities for Australian businesses – but can it continue down its current path, or will there be change?

Will China's economy see a ‘hard landing’ and what would that mean for its trading partners like Australia? How much progress have China's leaders made in implementing essential market reforms?

What do the changes in China’s growth model mean for different business sectors? Who stands to win and lose from China's changing course?

Today (Monday, August 18), one of the world’s leading China watchers, Professor Patrick Chovanec, will attempt to answer these and many other questions vital to Australia’s economic well-being.

Prof. Chovanec is managing director and chief strategist at Silvercrest Asset Management Group. He is also an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), where he teaches US-China negotiations.

Prof. Chovanec appears frequently on CNBC, Bloomberg, CNN, Fox Business, NPR, and BBC, and is often quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Washington Post, BusinessWeek, Foreign Policy and other prominent news sources.

Before joining Silvercrest, he was an associate professor of Practice at Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management in Beijing, where he also served as chairman of the Public Policy Development Committee for the American Chamber of Commerce in China.

Monday’s event is sponsored by the University of Sydney Business School’s Australia China Business Network, in association with the University of Sydney’s China Studies Centre.
