China is making an unprecedented effort to promote innovation and technological advancement as the basis for escaping the middle-income trap and leapfrogging to high-income status. Beijing is pouring money into strategic industries and R&D and promoting indigenous innovation. Will these efforts succeed in increasing productivity so that the economy can move to a more sustainable and relatively rapid growth path over the coming decade? AmCham China and the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy co-host this informative discussion on China's growth prospects and its innovation strategy with Dr. Yukon Huang.
Dr. Huang is a senior associate in the Carnegie Asia Program, where his research focuses on China's economic development and its impact on Asia and the global economy. Previously, he was the World Bank's country director for China (1997–2004) and for Russia and the former Soviet Union Republics of Central Asia (1992–1997). He is an A-List commentator for the Financial Times on China and his articles are also seen frequently in other major media such as The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, and CNN. He has a PhD in economics from Princeton University and a BA from Yale University.
