China Spektrum online discussion: The CCP’s Third Plenum and China’s future economic course

Against the backdrop of economic challenges and shaken confidence of Chinese citizens, entrepreneurs and international investors, the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party gathered from July 15 to 18 in Beijing for the Third Plenum. After the meeting, the CCP presented a 60-page document outlining its plans for reform and modernization. In this China Spektrum Online Discussion, panelists Jude Blanchette (CSIS), Manoj Kewalramani (Takshashila Institution), Katja Drinhausen (MERICS) and Kristin Shi-Kupfer (University of Trier) discussed the outcomes of the Third Plenum and the implications for international stakeholders. The session was moderated by Claudia Wessling, Director Communications & Publications at MERICS.

China Spektrum is a collaborative research project by MERICS and the China Institute of the University of Trier that analyzes public debates in China. The project is funded by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. The funding is made possible with support from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
