The Chinese economy is encountering various challenges, including slowing growth, a struggling property sector, sluggish consumer spending, significant debt in corporate and local government sectors, an aging population, and trade tensions with the U.S. and other countries. These issues contribute to uncertainties about China's economic prospects and the effectiveness of the government's response. Questions arise regarding China's reaction to the outcome of the U.S. presidential election and the economic impact of the 14th National People’s Congress.

On November 26, a virtual panel will be held by the Hutchins Center on Fiscal & Monetary Policy and the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution to discuss these topics. The panel will include Jon Czin, Michael H. Armacost Chair in Foreign Policy Studies; Eswar Prasad, New Century Chair in International Economics; and Zongyuan Zoe Liu from the Council on Foreign Relations. Bob Davis, a former senior editor at The Wall Street Journal, will moderate.

Questions for the panel can be submitted via email to [email protected] or through X @BrookingsFP and @BrookingsEcon using #ChinaEcon.
