Over the past three decades, China has achieved significant economic growth and political rise globally, whereas little is known about the effort of China's rural labourers and migrants, which has largely enriched the coastal elites, instead of creating the egalitarian, capitalist, society China espouses.
The Myth of Chinese Capitalism presents a portrait on 'the real China', in which the author explores the reality behind today’s financially-ascendant China in recent decades and investigates how the Chinese manufacturing machine is actually powered. The pressing problems faced by China and its people, namely, the aging problem, income distribution disparity, hukou system, are brought out to life.
Join us for a discussion with Dexter Roberts, author of The Myth of Chinese Capitalism: the Worker, the Factory, and the Future of the World, and Staff Writer at The New Yorker, author of Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Faith and Truth in the New China Evan Osnos on the reality behind today’s financially-ascendant China, and how restrictive policies are preventing the country from becoming the world’s largest economy, and the problems that China and its people face today.
