Topic: " Sino-Capitalism in the Xi Jinping Era "
Speaker: Dr. Christopher A. McNally FRGS
The new Chinese leadership cohort under Xi Jinping has initiated wide ranging changes to China’s economic, policy and business climate. There are at least five reform planks, including the forceful anti-corruption campaign, efforts to refurbish party-state control and improve legal rule, economic reforms, social reforms, and international policy initiatives to engender a Chinese renaissance (Silk Road; AIIB; Russia; etc.). This seminar will examine aspects of these new reform initiatives, arguing that they essentially reflect the dynamics of China’s emergent capitalism – Sino-capitalism. In fact, they follow Sino-capitalism’s basic logic of continuing forceful economic liberalization, while all along retaining and strengthening state control over crucial areas of socio-economic governance. The paradoxical nature of China’s economic and business climate thus continues to be reproduced: a state-guided form of capitalism is continuously adapted, in the process strengthening both private entrepreneurship and market forces.
