Shanghai – CEIBS Professor of Economics and Finance, Sheng Songcheng, who is also former Director General of the Financial Survey and Statistics Department at the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) and Counsellor to Shanghai Municipal Government, anticipates that the country’s service industry will be a major focus as China pushes ahead with reform and opening up. In fact, he said, China had itself taken initial steps, before the current trade war with the US, to open up the increasingly important service sector; but the results will take time to become evident.

September 7, 2018. Shanghai – Former Prime Minister of France and faculty member at CEIBS Dominique de Villepin today told a group of Chinese academics that it is vital for Europe and China to work together to balance the “chaos” being caused by the policies of US President Donald Trump.
