Oct. 20: China — An economic giant emerges

A talk by Susan Erickson of IUPUI

When: Thursday 20 October, 3:00-4:30 PM

Where: Glendale Mall OASIS 6101 North Keystone Ave Indianapolis

China is increasingly influential globally, but continues to face obstacles at home. As China's record economic growth continues, the country must still contend with a growing gap between rich and poor, devastating pollution and resource shortages. What strategies can China adapt to sustain its economy while meeting the needs of its people?

When we were both graduate students at the University of California at Berkeley, Susan Erickson introduced me to the joys of studying Chinese and Taiwanese politics ... it is a love affair that has been going on for twenty years now. Susan is one of the area's liveliest and most popular soeakers, this event is wrth making time to attend. It is part of the OASIS "Great Decisions" series, if you would like to attend please contact me at john@sipr.org.
