The Paulson Institute’s MacroPolo and the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics Center are pleased to co-host an executive-level event on Wednesday, December 9 focused on the US-China economic relationship and the countries’ roles in global development. We are honored to welcome David Malpass, President of the World Bank; Tom Orlik, Chief Economist, Bloomberg Economics; and Zhu Min, Chairman, National Institute of Financial Research, Fudan University. Eunice Yoon, CNBC’s Bureau Chief and Chief Correspondent in Beijing will moderate the conversation.
The last four years brought a spotlight to the significant fractures between the US and China–from trade tensions and intellectual property concerns to the future of financial integration. The transition period in Washington is a chance to take stock of where both countries stand and outline a path for a more productive dialogue between the world’s two largest economies as we head towards 2021. This event will feature MacroPolo’s new analysis of China’s 5 year economic plan. Our goal is to take an honest and pragmatic view of the relationship among leading economists as we head into the next Administration. This will not be a political discussion but a clear-eyed view of where the US and China stand together in the global economy.
