The Future of China’s Trade and Role in Global Production Networks
ECIPE Lunch Seminar
Speaker; Ari van Assche, HEC Montreal
China’s trade success is a function of processing trade – that is, China became an assembly hub that processed imported components before they were exported. But the economic crisis has affected China’s trade performance – possibly also in the longer run. How exactly is the crisis affecting China’s trade? Is China really climbing the technological ladder? What impact do these trends have on global production networks, and what are therefore the implications for trade and investment policy?
These issues will be discussed by Ari van Assche, a professor of international business at HEC in Montreal and expert on China’s trade performance, at an ECIPE seminar.
RSVP by February 24 to info@ecipe.org
A sandwich lunch will be served.
A limited number of seats are available.
