China's Next Growth Equation: Demand and Rebalancing

About The Event
China's economy is often described as "slowing" — but slowing from what, and toward what? This lecture will examine how China's growth equation is being reshaped: from investment-led expansion to demand rebalancing, from scale to productivity, and from uncertainty to confidence. Using macro data and policy signals, the lecture will offer a disciplined yet forward-looking framework for understanding both the constraints China faces and the strategic space that remains for businesses and decision-makers.
