On March 10th, China announced retaliatory tariffs on American farm products, a direct response to the U.S. decision to double levies on Chinese imports to 20%. From escalating trade tensions to bellicose speeches targeting long-standing allies, the Trump 2.0 era has ushered in a whirlwind of geopolitical upheaval.
To help navigate this rapidly shifting landscape and explore the implications for global trade, politics, and the "Crisis of Democratic Capitalism," the British Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to host Martin Wolf, the Financial Times Chief Economic Commentator. Renowned for his incisive analysis and unparalleled access to the world's most influential figuresโfrom Hillary Clinton and Christine Lagarde to Larry SummersโWolf will share his unique insights on the global events impacting business on the ground in China.
Following Wolf's keynote discussion, a panel of experts on China's political economy will reflect on the outcomes of China's recent political season and the lianghui (Two Sessions), offering a deeper understanding of China's domestic and international priorities in this turbulent era.
