On Wednesday, November 20, Yasheng Huang, Epoch Foundation Professor of Global Economics and Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management, will present “The China Model at a Crossroads: Implications for U.S.-China Relations in a Shifting Global Environment.” |
The Chinese economy has entered its most uncertain times in recent history. Geopolitical tensions, high debt, and overcapacity in the real estate sector and in production are imposing substantial constraints on the economy. Within China, the political and policy developments have further complicated the capacity of the government to respond to these challenges. Huang will provide an overview of some of the broad economic and geopolitical issues and trends.
