Making Sense of a Changing China

China is changing in fundamental ways. For foreign investors, the China outlook is highly uncertain across growth, competition, policy, and geopolitical dimensions. In parallel US—China tensions continue to intensify and are bearing increasing influence on regional economies and markets. Almost daily, China-related news flows are heavy with potentially impactful developments, provoking many new planning questions one after the other. Business leaders are struggling to explain what is happening in China and where things are headed. For many companies, this is a subject of intense, even paralyzing internal debate and misalignment.

This briefing will unpack the evolving economic and political-economy situation in China, the dynamics at work, and what the key trends portend for business conditions in China and for China engagement and geopolitical dynamics in the broader Asia region.
