China and World Economy

Aims & Scope

China & World Economy aims to take the leading role in promoting the discussion on Chinese economy and its interaction with the world economy.

After more than four decades of significant development, China has become the second largest economy in the world and the driving force of the world economy.

In-depth analysis on China’s development and exploring the experiences and lessons learned brings inspiration to a wide range of countries in the world.

Nevertheless, identifying the existing problems, examining the reasons hidden behind, tracking the emerging issues of the economy and drawing policy implication with forward looking is of great value to not only China but also the world.
