“Prospects for the Chinese Economy”
~Examining Policy of the Second Term Hu Jintao Administration~

High growth continues in China while its economic relationship with Japan deepens even further.

However, with an overheating economy, a rise in inflation, deterioration in energy and environmental problems and widening disparity, China’s future is increasingly uncertain.

Along with global experts in this field, FRI’s China researchers will report the results of multifaceted analysis on the policy of the Hu Jintao Administration, saddled with various issues as it enters its second term, from a political, economic, social, industrial and financial perspective.

We welcome your participation.
