March-April: Politics and Economy

China's Economic Decisionmakers
Cheng Li
New faces on China's economic policy team this year could determine the country's growth trajectory.

Quick Glance

    * China's new economic team will influence economic and trade policies for the next five years and beyond.
    * China's economic decisionmakers are generally former provincial-level party secretaries—with limited leadership experience in finance or banking—or former economic technocrats in central government ministries.
    * The different priorities held by Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang, the two contenders for top leadership posts in 2012, may cause conflict—or may result in more balanced leadership.

Harmonious Society
Andy Rothman

As China grapples with the negative effects of breakneck economic growth—a gaping wealth divide, environmental destruction, and other pressing issues—President Hu Jintao makes a pitch for better social policy.

An Introduction to the US-China Business Council:

The United States-China Business Council, Inc. (USCBC) is a private, nonprofit organization of more than 250 American corporations that do business with China. Founded in 1973, USCBC has provided unmatched information, advisory, advocacy, and program services to its membership for over three decades. Through its offices in Washington, DC; Beijing; and Shanghai, USCBC is uniquely positioned to serve its members' interest in the US and China.

USCBC's mission is to expand our commercial relationship with China to the benefit of our membership and, more broadly, the US economy. We advocate a balanced approach to our commercial relations with China—one that expands opportunities while identifying and removing trade barriers. Our focus is on rules-based trade, investment, and competition, and on developing a commercial environment in China that is predictable and transparent to all parties.

Among USCBC's members are many of the largest and best known US corporations, but smaller companies and service firms make up a substantial portion of the overall membership as well. USCBC is governed by a Board of Directors composed of distinguished corporate leaders; the current chair is W. James McNerney, Jr., chairman, president and chief executive officer of the Boeing Company. John Frisbie has been USCBC's president since November 1, 2004.

USCBC has long served as a respected host of events featuring senior officials from the US and Chinese governments. In recent years, USCBC has been honored to receive PRC President Hu Jintao, Premier Wen Jiabao, Vice Premier Wu Yi, and other distinguished guests from central and provincial government entities. Recent American public figures to meet with USCBC members in the US and China have included, Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr., Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez, key members of Congress, James A. Baker, III, Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, and numerous specialists on US-China affairs from various agencies of the Executive Branch of government.
