As the second largest economy, China has become a major boost for the world’s economy by maintaining a speedy but steady growth domestically. In the meantime, China is experiencing a structural reform, striving to transition from foreign direct investment to domestic consumption. This goal has enabled China to pioneer in industries, such as e-commerce, digital payment, robotics, etc. These developments will help maintain China’s position as an accelerator for global economy.

       The forum will explore China’s recent emphasis on connectivity with other countries through the “shared growth through collaboration” concept by discussing key topics detailed in the proposed agenda. These discussions will help participants understand the new era of China’s structural reform and explore cooperative opportunities between U.S. and China.

       We plan to leverage Yale University’s rich resources as a global research institute, its strong and deep ties with Chi- na over the past two centuries, and its extensive network of reputable alumni. With such support, we are confident to host an effective and meaningful forum to nurture reflection and insights that can help China accelerate its advancements and achieve coordinated developments across its economy, society, and culture.
