China at the Crossroads?

China expert and George Washington University Professor David Shambaugh will survey the main challenges facing China at present & assesses the steps the government is taking to meet them through new reform policies



After 35 years of miraculous and dynamic change in its internal development and external relations, China is now facing a number of unprecedented challenges in many realms. Many observers believe that a "crossroads" has been reached--unless fundamental reforms are undertaken national development may stagnate internally and become more assertive externally. In this lecture, internationally recognized China expert David Shambaugh will survey the main challenges facing China at present and he will assess the steps the government is taking to meet them through new reform policies undertaken by the Xi Jinping leadership.
