The Paradigm of China's Developmental Problem

This past Wednesday I was fortunate to have the opportunity (seriously) to attend an event at the wonderful Brookings Institute, a premier organization of scholars and intellectuals. Their Thornton Center continues to attract some of the best and brightest China-focused minds, whose quality of output might be matched, but hardly surpassed. The event was entitled “Intellectuals Divided: The Growing Political and Ideological Debate in China”, and a more apt title, there are none. Regardless of your level of expertise regarding China, this talk was exceedingly informative and in-depth, while remaining accessible. For individuals interested in what is occurring on the ground in China, the internal governmental and intellectual debates as well as a non-economic assessment and prediction regarding the big red state’s future should hit the jump for more.
