EA presents: China at the Crossroads

Reform Challenges Ahead

After thirty-five years of miraculous change, China now faces a number of unprecedented challenges. Many observers believe that without fundamental reforms, national development may stagnate internally and China may become more assertive externally. Noted China scholar David Shambaugh will survey the challenges and discuss Beijing’s efforts to implement new reform policies under Xi Jinping’s leadership. 

Professor Shambaugh teaches at George Washington University and is a nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution. His books include China’s Communist Party: Atrophy and Adaptation and, more recently, China Goes Global: The Partial Power.
