Time: 09:00-09:45 am (DK) / 03:00-03:45 pm (CN)
This webinar is part of the webinar series 'Staying in Dialogue with China'. The series will bring you six webinars with distinguished China-based experts, concentrated between April and October 2024.
'Staying in Dialogue with China' is organized and hosted by China Macro Group (CMG), with Caixin Global as Anchor Partner, in cooperation with the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), Chinaforum Bayern, Swissmem, the Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), the Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF), SwissCham China, the Stein am Rhein Symposium (stars), and the Sweden-China Trade Council (SCTC).
In the fourth session of the webinar series "Staying in Dialogue with China", Markus Hermann, Co-Founder and Managing Director, China Macro Group (CMG) will be talking to Prof. Li Shi, Dean of the Institute for Common Prosperity and Development at Zhejiang University about China's "Social Rebalancing" as a fourth structural transition as per CMG's conceptual framework of China's political economy.
Institutional reforms kick-started in 1978 enabled China's rapid catch-up. These reforms, however, were applied selectively and thus the development has been heavily skewed towards China's coastal areas. So, despite officially having eradicated absolute poverty in 2021, the Gini coefficient for the country's income distribution still stands at 0.467 (2022), much higher than the average .stands at 0.35 average in Asia.
In 2020, the late premier Li Keqiang reminded everybody that China still has 600 million people living on a monthly income of 1,000 yuan (US$140), "barely enough to cover monthly rent in a mid-sized Chinese City". President Xi likewise conceded that "unbalanced and inadequate development remains a pronounced problem". Problems are thus manifold: domestic household consumption remains structurally subdued, migrant workers still don't enjoy the same public services as regular urban residents do, and birth rates have been falling rapidly - also due to higher costs of living.
Coming out of the Third Plenum, the mid-year July Politburo meeting as well as the Beidaihe leadership conclave, what are Beijing's - possibly readjusted - policy priorities and recipes to address these social policy challenges? How has "Common Prosperity" already become a policy reality? What are first learnings from its polit on Zhejiang province? How will China's lower-class workers be protected, allowed to unionize and taxed in the future? How can social rebalancing contribute to long-term goals such as stimulating consumption and reviving birth rates?

As part of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Denmark and China, a joint work programme has been established which builds upon elements of the development strategies of the two countries and covers various areas and mechanisms of ongoing bilateral cooperation. On climate and energy the cooperation intends to engage in government-to-government cooperation to promote the common climate agenda and the transition to a low carbon pathway. Furthermore, the Embassy together with the Danish Energy Agency and the Danish Maritime Authorities also engages in two strategic sector cooperations within the Energy & Maritime sector.
The strategic sector cooperation within energy has two tracks on clean heating and quality offshore wind both focusing on sharing Danish regulatory and framework experiences in an effort to support a path towards a green transition in China. For example by identifying means on how to replace heavy coal dependent systems with green and clean sources within district heating as well as sharing Danish authorities experiences in implementing offshore wind in a cost-efficient manner. The maritime strategic sector cooperation promotes cooperation with the Chinese authorities on safe and green shipping through e.g. exchange of best practice and cooperation on international regulation within maritime safety, green shipping as well as green shipbuilding. In addition, it aims to improve the framework conditions for Danish shipping companies and promote opportunities for Danish maritime companies in China. Participants will be introduced to the various programme activities and hear how the business community plays a role in and benefits from the cooperation.
