________
The CERDI-IDREC organizes an international conference on the Chinese economy every two years.
The conference attracts participants worldwide to address major economic issues and challenges that
China and the world are currently facing. For this 12th edition and for the third time, the conference is
organized with CCES, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

The overall theme is A new era for China: Growth sustainability and Broaden International
Development
The theme is significant and timely from both the research and policy perspectives.
China’s growth is declining and in the same time, its place in the world economy is increasing. The
trade war with the United States is an illustration of the conflict between great powers, and of the
threat of the growing technological level of China for the developed economies. Several reforms are
expected for the domestic economy and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is supposed to enlarge
the China’s influence on the world. There are many debates about internal challenges, as the public
and private debts, the aging population, the reform of public firms…, as well as international
challenges with the evolution of the BRI projects.
The themes of this conference are mainly:
- The slowdown of China’s growth
- The trade relationships
- The trade war with the USA
- China’s investment abroad
- The reform of the State-owned enterprises
- The environmental policy
- The renminbi as an international currency
- The upgrading of technology
- The relationships between China and the developing economies
- China’s aid
