Event Details
In his recently released book, Developing China: The Remarkable Impact of Foreign Direct Investment, global competitiveness expert Michael J. Enright looks at the economic impact that foreign direct investment has had on China’s economic development. The results indicate that China has experienced a substantially greater impact from foreign investment and foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) than what is generally understood – accounting for roughly one-third of China’s GDP and over one-fourth of China’s employment.
During this session, AmCham welcomes three experienced experts to share their perspectives on FDI and its impact on China’s economic growth. Mr. Enright will be joined by Timothy Stratford, who is AmCham China Board of Governor and partner of Covington & Burling LLP with extensive experience working with multinationals investing in and trading with China, and Tom Mitchel, who has covered many key FDI topics as a journalist throughout Asia, currently as the Beijing Bureau Chief for the Financial Times. AmCham China President Alan Beebe will give opening remarks, and Stephen Olson, Research Fellow at the Hinrich Foundation, will moderate the panel.
This session comes at a time when global trade and FDI are becoming increasingly important topics in the global business and policy landscape.
Seats are limited. Please RSVP online to reserve your spot with discounted price. Light lunch and soft drinks will be provided by AmCham China.
