China economic reform

Xi changed China’s trajectory from the “Reform and Opening Up” of his predecessors toward a more internal and state-focused model of economic development.

Despite his reputation for being a political weakling, Li deserves credit for successfully championing reformist economic values.

Once again, China’s government failed to approve a property tax law, seen as a key part of reforming the real estate sector.

Xi Jinping has been clear that China’s old economic model is a thing of the past. The new one, however, is only starting to take shape.

The pandemic has once again emphasized the winners (China) and losers (the Western lower and middle classes) of globalization.

This week’s celebration of Shenzhen, the original SEZ, comes amid a general trend of sidelining Deng.

China must take care not to let the current trend follow the pattern of the bicycle-sharing fiasco.

‘‘The law and its implementing regulation still lack implementation details on how to protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors.’’

Facing a slowing economy, Beijing is struggling to boost the market confidence of the international business community.

China’s “seesaw economy” is the result of an unempowered market that plays second fiddle to political objectives.
