The recently published report, Perfecting China, Inc: The 13th Five Year Plan, finds that while the 13th Five-Year Plan (13FYP) recognises the need to strengthen a variety of market institutions, the plan is less clear and ambitious on the specific policy steps to rebalance China’s governance model away from the state and toward the market. The report also says that mobilising capital for priority sectors and other interventionist tools are still central to the 13FYP, which is a strategy designed to improve the current system—to strengthen China, Inc.—not to transform it.
On 6th June in Beijing, the European Chamber is delighted to welcome Scott Kennedy, author of the report and Deputy Director of the Freeman Chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), to share his key findings. David Kelly, Research Director of China Policy, and Jude Blanchette, Associate Engagement Director, Conference Board, will also join the discussion.
