Dear Members and Friends of SwissCham,
SwissCham Beijing is delighted to invite you to our supported "Staying in Dialogue with China" webinar series - Social Rebalancing, which will take place on September 11 at 3pm.
In our fourth webinar of this year's "Staying in Dialogue with China" series, we look forward to talking to Prof. LI Shi, Dean of the Institute for Common Prosperity and Development, Zhejiang University, about China's "social rebalancing" as a fourth structural transition as per CMG's conceptual framework of China's political economy (cf. CMG).
Institutional reforms kick-started in 1978 enabled China's rapid catch-up. These reforms, however, were applied selectively and thus the development has been heavily skewed towards China's coastal areas. So, despite officially having eradicated absolute poverty in 2021, the Gini coefficient for the country's income distribution still stands at 0.467 (2022), much higher than the 0.35 average in Asia.
In 2020, the late Premier Li Keqiang reminded everybody that China still has 600 million people living on a monthly income of 1,000 yuan (US$140), "barely enough to cover monthly rent in a mid-sized Chinese city". President Xi likewise conceded that "unbalanced and inadequate development remains a pronounced problem". Problems are thus manifold: domestic household consumption remains structurally subdued, migrant workers still don't enjoy the same public services as regular urban residents do, and birth rates have been falling rapidly โ also due to higher costs of living.
Coming out of the Third Plenum, the mid-year July Politburo meeting as well as the Beidaihe leadership conclave, what are Beijing's โ possibly readjusted โ policy priorities and recipes to address these social policy challenges? How has "Common Prosperity" already become a policy reality? What are first learnings from its pilot in Zhejiang province? How will China's lower-class workers be protected, allowed to unionize and taxed in the future? How can social rebalancing contribute to long-term goals such as stimulating consumption and reviving birth rates?
This webinar will be moderated by Markus Herrmann Chen, Co-Founder and Managing Director of CMG. Take the opportunity to listen in and ask your questions to Prof. LI.
This webinar will not be recorded, but a transcript will be published following the webinar.

After 45 years of exceptional development and growth, structural complexities in China's political economy are becoming increasingly challenging, calling for policymakers to skillfully navigate China's economy towards the proclaimed 'High-Quality-Development'. To make sense of these complexities and potential policy conundrums that shape the strategic context for foreign business, CMG looks at China's political economy and evolving policy environment by way of six structural transitions โ three longer-term transitions that China embarked on with the 'reform and opening up' (ๆน้ฉๅผๆพ) period, and three more recent transitions involving policy-steered trade-offs and rebalancing.
In this 2024 "Staying in Dialogue with China" webinar series, CMG will explore, debate and refine this conceptualization to these six structural transitions featuring six distinguished Chinese economists as expert speakers. Click here to find out more about the entire series.
