National Briefing on China’s 14th Five Year Plan

China’s recently approved Five-Year Plan charts the nation’s economic development for the next five years and beyond. It signals President Xi’s ambition for China to stand alongside the United States as a $30 trillion powerhouse economy by 2030.

Join our panel of China experts for a deep dive into the Five-Year Plan and what it means for Australia business. What sectors are poised for growth? What are the keys to business success?

These questions and many more will be explored by our panellists from the US, Australia and China.
