China's explosive growth during the past decade is exercising a profound
impact on the world's economic order. Trade flows from China to the
United States and Europe, bilateral trade disputes, anxiety in the West
about outsourcing of jobs, pressures on currency valuations, fear of Chinese
overtures to western companies, and the growing global competition for
energy and raw materials all point to fundamental shifts taking place in the
global economic sphere. What are the impacts of this rising giant on the
Asian region, particularly Japan, India, and the "tigers" of Southeast Asia?
How are the United States and the European Union reacting and adapting
to China's outward projection of its economic prowess? This session will
analyze challenges, risks, and opportunities as China emerges as a key
force in the world economy. It will also explore future scenarios for a new
world economic order, and evaluate practical choices confronting policy
makers in government and business in China, in the West, and elsewhere
in Asia.
