The context An economy that has grown at over 10% p.a. over the
last decade and now accounts for 10% of world GDP…
…with $2 trillion of foreign exchange reserves
Huge domestic market, but also an export powerhouse
A banking sector that has attracted investment from all the big Western banks
Lots of assembly plants, sure, but also hi-tech, innovation, and entrepreneurial flair
An extraordinary city – history, architecture, food, art…

Beijing with us! Unique moment – how will China respond to a
global slowdown? Can the economy maintain its dynamism? Can the system deal with the tensions of inequality? Will China join the US in a ‘grand bargain’ to rebuild the foundations of the international financial system?
Enjoy some free time in a great city Year after year, about 40% of the students on
this trip have said afterwards, ‘I want to work at least a few years in China’…and many others look forward to working with Chinese firms.
