Ryan Hass | Director at John L. Thornton China Center | The Brookings Institution website
The John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution will host a public event on November 3 to discuss the outcomes of the Fourth Plenum and their implications for China's economic direction. The event will address questions about China's political and economic policies following the meeting of the 20th Central Committee in Beijing.
Panelists will analyze the forthcoming 15th Five-Year Plan, focusing on its impact on China's domestic and international priorities. The discussion will also cover recent high-level personnel changes and what they may indicate for future governance in China.
According to the event announcement, there is ongoing uncertainty regarding China's shift toward consumption-led growth, the productivity of new innovative sectors, and internal leadership dynamics. The panel aims to provide insights into these topics, including the developmental policy agenda, fiscal capacity, and broader structural macroeconomic issues.
The event will be open to online viewers, who can submit questions via email or through X (formerly Twitter) using #BrookingsChina.
