What does China think?
Time: 2 - 3pm
Venue: U8
Speaker: Mr. Mark Leonard
Very few things that happen in our lifetime will be remembered after we are dead. But China’s rise is different: like the rise and fall of Rome or the Soviet Empire, its after-effects will echo down the generations to come. So why is it that we know almost nothing about the thinkers in China who are shaping their country’s future? What kind of country are they dreaming of? How do they see their influence in the world? We might know that half of the world’s clothes and footwear have a ‘Made in China’ label and that our economies are inextricably linked with China’s - but do we know about China’s experiments with democracy; about its anti-globalisation movement; and about its plans to deal with America as its own influence grows across the globe? Mark Leonard provides a fascinating and unexpected perspective on the debates raging with Chinese Society today and shows us just how radically China’s rise will change the nature of our world.
Mark is Executive Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations. Previously he was Director of Foreign Policy at the Centre for European Reform, and Director of the Foreign Policy Centre. Mark has spent time in Washington as a Transatlantic fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and in Beijing as a visiting scholar at the Chinese Academy for Social Sciences. He is a prolific writer and commentator whose work has appeared in publications including Time, The Guardian, The Independent, The Washington Quarterly, The Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist etc. His first book, Why Europe will run the 21st Century, has been translated into 18 languages. Mark is currently working on his second book, 'What does China think?' which will be published in 2008.

What lessons can China’s policy-makers learn from Japan?
Time: 2 - 3pm
Venue: D202
Speaker: Mr. Julian Jessop
China today faces many of the challenges that Japan had to deal with in the 1980s and early 1990s: high rates of saving and investment, an over-reliance on bank finance, the emergence of asset price bubbles, heavy state intervention, booming exports and growing trade tensions with the West. Admittedly, China is at a much earlier stage of economic development. Nonetheless, there are enough similarities to ask what lessons can be drawn from the Japanese experience.
Julian Jessop is Capital Economics’ Chief International Economist and is also a Director of the company. He joined the company from Standard Chartered Bank, where he was Senior International Economist responsible for analysing the G7 economies and the emerging markets of Asia. Julian has held senior economist positions at HSBC and the Japanese bank Nikko, and worked as an Economic Adviser at the UK Treasury. He has two degrees in Economics from Cambridge University. Capital Economics is one of the leading economic research consultancies in the UK, having over 300 regular clients, ranging from some of the world’s largest banks to boutique property investors.
