SUMMARY:FCCC In-person Event: Uli Sigg: Swiss Art Collector\, Former Diplomat and Businessman 
DESCRIPTION:Hong Kong’s M+ has become one of the most popular art museums in Asia. This wouldn’t have been possible without Uli Sigg.

The M+ Sigg Collection includes among other artists works by Fang Lijun\, Song Dong and dissident artist Ai Weiwei.\nJoin us for an in-person talk with Uli Sigg for an evening of discussion on how he turned from businessman to art collector\, how the crackdown on free speech in Hong Kong affects the art scene\, and what the future of Chinese contemporary art looks like. \nSeats for this event are limited so please register in advance.

SUMMARY:FCCC IN-person Event: Chinese Economy Policy in 2023 by Barry Naughton
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese economic policymaking process has finally emerged in the last couple of months. While policymaking is more coherent and better coordinated\, it still seems torn between conflicting objectives. In particular\, policymakers are no longer focused on economic growth.  Rather\, the drive to build industrial resilience in the face of American technology challenges has led them to emphasize the creation of a ‘Modernized Industrial System.’  This emphasis—along with the on-going housing recession and potential financial risks—is likely to weigh on Chinese growth prospects for the foreseeable future.\n \nAbout our speaker: Barry Naughton is one of the world’s leading experts on the Chinese economy. He specializes in China’s transitional economic policy-making\, with an emphasis on issues relating to industry\, trade and finance. His authoritative textbook “The Chinese Economy: Transitions and Growth”\, has been for years a reference for students at universities around the world\, including China. Naughton is the So Kwan Lok Chair of Chinese International Affairs at the School of Global Policy and Strategy\, University of California\, San Diego.
