China’s large-scale Anti-Corruption Campaign, launched in 2012 and still continues, where millions of high-level and local civil servants have been incriminated in varied forms of abuse of power. Common perceptions would lead to believe that amongst sweeping corruption in an entire country, economic growth will surely suffer. Despite this, China’s GDP has shown notable growth over the past years, with an average of 7.1% year-on-year change from 2012-2019.
In her book, Yuen Yuen Ang challenges this common narrative, examining different types of corruption and explaining the paradoxical relationship between corruption and growth, ultimately answering a very important question: How can China’s economy have had such growth along with corruption? What risks come with this paradox and how will it change in a post-pandemic world?
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to welcome Yuen Yuen Ang, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan and author of the book “China’s Gilded Age: the Paradox of Economic Boom & Vast Corruption” for a webinar hosted by David Rennie, Beijing Bureau Chief and Chaguan Columnist at The Economist.
