After promoting its rigid family planning regime for decades, the Chinese government now faces the economic consequences of the one-child policy.

In attempting to modernize its governance structure, China must reimagine its relationship between its central government and local authorities, despite the risks involved.

By rejecting old theories and embracing competition among its cities, China is creating domestic demand that can fuel its future development.

A more international China should not be arrogant and self-centered, instead it should be aware of its weaknesses.

The Chinese economy has to adapt in order to remain stable.

In its haste to prepare for a ‘rising China’ and the increasing power of President Xi, the U.S. has misread crucial political and economic factors that could change the United States’ characterization of China as a threat.

In the West, many economists and observers now portray China as a fierce competitor for global technological supremacy. This is a serious misrepresentation, argues Zhang Jun.

Blockbuster film Black Panther might offer up an unintentional message for China’s urban leaders: there need not be a default setting for what urbanization looks and feels like. Cities everywhere, including in China, will continue to grow, but they can do so by embracing their rich pasts while building a vibrant, unique, and inclusive future.

In the past, restrictions on China’s ‘one-child policy’ had been a popular topic in the news, but in recent months, the focus has fallen on the consequences of this policy on the Chinese society and economy. How should President Xi’s government handle this demographic change?

This century is supposed to be China’s century, the result of forty years of hard-won prosperity on the back of tough-minded reform and sacrifice. That still might happen, but the outcome rides heavily on whether a new generation of leaders are able to resurrect the magic of China’s economic exceptionalism.
