April 3rd - 5th 2024
Since its economic opening in 1978 and even more so since its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has become one of the main actors of the global economy. Since 2009, China has been the largest exporter in the world. Since 2013, China has promoted its “Belt and Road Initiative”, funding infrastructure – mostly in emerging markets – along the new “maritime silk road” and the old land trade corridors of the historical silk road, to further increase regional connectivity and possibly trade flows. While China has been continuously opening, there are still barriers to trade. With China’s economic prosperity, those are seen increasingly critical by Western trading partners who are less and less willing to treat China as developing economy but rather see it as rival.
From April 3rd to 5th, 2024, the Center for Financial Development and Stability (CFDS) at Henan University and the International Network for Economic Research (INFER) organized their 7th annual Workshop on Applied Macroeconomics hosted by Henan University.
