China’s changing opportunity
I recently had my first visit to China since the pandemic.
China today is incomparable with where it was two decades ago – and its key opportunities for the future are likely to be quite different.
In Shanghai the city keeps developing. Particularly noticeable to me was the fleet of cars were very, very new. In fact, I cannot think of a city which eclipses the cars in Shanghai – and among them were many Electric vehicles.
That shift, and others happening as part of the transition to net-zero carbon, are at the heart of China’s new economic opportunity. The prominence of the climate transition in discussions of China’s strengths, and its future, is large. Climate is a more prominent part of the discussion than anywhere else I have been recently.
But no economy can grow quickly forever. China’s trend rate of growth was always likely to slow. In conversations I’ve had on this visit, in contrast to pre-pandemic, China’s structural challenges are more broadly acknowledged.
