2026 may mark a pivotal year of opportunity for China’s economy, businesses, and global investors. In this video, CEIBS Professor of Economics and Finance Xu Bin explores why both Chinese policy and the international economic environment could align to create meaningful growth potential. He also argues that, in an era defined by volatility, the global environment may be more predictable than it first appears, allowing Chinese companies and households to plan, invest, and expand with greater confidence. 

This discussion breaks down:

• Why 2026 stands out as a year of opportunity
• How China’s economic planning cycle shapes growth
• What a more stable global environment means for companies and investors
• Why ambition and long-term thinking may be rewarded
