Against the backdrop of Brexit and the unpredictable US election, China's economy is undergoing important structural adjustments and has entered a "new normal" phase of development. How should we understand the era we live in? What is the relationship between the capital market and supply-side structural reform? What are the challenges and opportunities facing China's economy and financial markets? Qi Bin of China Investment Corporation (CIC) will share his insights, and will also introduce the CIC Research Institute (in formation), offering job opportunities to those with overseas study and work experience who wish to return to China.
