Don’t miss it! Dinner Talk - understand the Chinese new generation: the Rupture and Hope
Hello everyone,
We are very pleased to announce our next event about - China ! Expert insights, authentic spicy Chinese food and networking of course !
2024 marks the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic ties. Sixty years complete one cycle in the traditional Chinese calendar, bridging the past and the future. The official visit of China's president Xi JingPing to France a couple of days ago highlighted the importance of this relationship.
Today's China frequently stirs up discussion and emotion. Without a doubt its constantly growing economical and political power is indisputable. At the same time, China is experiencing some an ever increasing challenge, in two fronts: Economic growth and more importantly the state of mind of its new generation.
Trying to make sense of this enormous country with its long and turbulent history is no easy feat. How do we understand what are the new challenges China is grappling with? and how do they affect china as well as the rest of the world?
