The Event

Globalization is facing strong headwind. The unexpected decision of Brexit and the rapid rise of Trump in the U.S. presidential race herald the rising sentiment of protectionism and nativism. As the beneficiary of globalization in the past 15 years, China needs to take on a leadership role in steering globalization forward, not backward. It's therefore important for China to understand the challenges facing globalization, and therefore chart a new blueprint for it.

In this seminar jointly hosted by Sciences Po and The Economist Global Business Review, we will try to explore the following questions:

• What's the prospect for EU after the Brexit?
• Would regional trade liberalization be an alternative to global effort to liberalize trade and service, investment, and migration?
• What's the prospect for EU-China business relations?
• How to interpret the recent lukewarm attitude towards Chinese investment in EU?
• What role should China play in global trade in the future?

LANGUAGE

The language of the event will be English.
