Abstract: |
The global financial crisis (GFC) has brought to the fore the limits of the Chinese export-led growth strategy and the need for China to rebalance its international business approaches. This lecture outlines what may be the new chapter of Chinese outward-mercantilism, which aims at securing a higher rate of returns on its net foreign asset position, as well as leveraging its success in manufacturing exports, natural resource imports and RMB internationalization. |
