What Does China’s Slowdown Mean for its Global Ambitions? (12/17/24)

After managing decades of double-digit economic expansion, China is now struggling to produce growth at half that rate, the result of a property market bust, deflation, flagging consumption and the collapse of local infrastructure investment. The upshot is growing uncertainty over Beijing’s economic, diplomatic and military role in the world, and to address that uncertainty, the Global Intelligence Desk is delighted to host an episode of The Call with Elizabeth Economy, the Hargrove Senior Fellow and co-chair of the Program on the US, China, and the World at the Hoover Institution.   Economy will help us address a series of questions that are now top of mind for businesses and anybody following China’s economic challenges: What do China’s economic struggles mean for President Xi’s vision? Will China still leverage its market to pursue policy changes in other countries? Does a weaker economy slow China’s infrastructure investment abroad? Will Beijing turn inward, creating opportunities for the U.S.? Originally recorded 12/17/24-The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk. Live access to The Call is a benefit to the Chamber’s members; however, we are pleased to provide recordings of the calls for wider listening thereafter.Learn more about the Global Intelligence Desk: https://globalintelligencedesk.com/Join the conversation on LinkedIn:   / global-intelligence-desk
