COVID-19 has struck at the core of global value chain regions, including China, Europe and the US, and is expected to have a significant impact on the global economy. The pandemic resulted in a historic contraction of China’s GDP by 6.8 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2020. Defying dire predictions, China is rebounding from the COVID-19 crisis while the U.S. contracts.
For those who follow the history of China analysis in the last decades know it has been inundated with predictions of China’s debt bubble and shrinking economy. In his book, mapping out different possible scenarios, Tom Orlik sheds light on China’s economics and financial dynamics, he positions China in the context of a rolling series of global crisis and what could happen if China’s bubble finally does burst.
How can China shield its economy from the impact of COVID-19? Can China still become “xiaokang shehui” (moderately prosperous)? If a once-in-a-century pandemic doesn’t burst the bubble, the question is: What will?
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to welcome Tom Orlik, Chief Economist for Bloomberg Economics and author of the book “China: The Bubble that Never Pops” for a webinar hosted by Zhu Ning, Professor and Deputy Dean at The National Institute of Financial Research (NIFR), Tsinghua University.
