Dear DUSA Members and Friends,
This is the last call of DUSA New Year Roundtable "China Outlook 2020" at IBSS, XJTLU on January 9, 2020.
We would like to highlight that the agenda of this event is updated.
Due to time conflicts, the speakers have changed to Alberto Batinti (Associate Professor in Economics, IBSS), Laurie Underwood (Senior Associate Professor of Management at IBSS and Senior Consultant for Sino Associates) and John Yang (Senior Consultant, Greenment Environment).
This year's Outlook will focus on the role of health and environment for the future of the Chinese economy. These two sectors will be of increasing strategic value for achieving sustainable development and social stability, and will progressively occupy the centre stage of policy-making and business opportunity.
Health and the environment are strong complements. Good health has both intrinsic values, as it improves the quality of life, and instrumental value, because it is an important determinant of the human capital accumulation needed to foster sustained growth and development. Environmental quality influences physical and psychological health critically interacts with public health and creates the physical preconditions for sustained growth and development.
As a consequence, the articulation of an optimal mix of effective and well-designed environmental and health policies is a complex, but essential task. It is one requiring the contribution and coordination of business and government actors targeting sustainable growth in the medium and long term, a policy blend producing vast and positive spillovers for the economy and protracted benefits for the whole population.
The January Roundtable will be combined with the January Session of SEA Autumn-Winter Seminars of IBSS, XJTLU.
Refreshments instead of dinner buffet will be provided. The event is free entry for DUSA Members and RMB 300 for Non-DUSA Members based on "first come, first served" principle and max. 2 registrations from one member company.
