Speaker(s): See description | The LSE SU China Development Forum (CDF) is the flagship annual conference of the LSE SU China Development Society (CDS). Co-organised with the LSE Asia Research Centre, the CDF provides a platform for students, academics and professionals to exchange ideas and hold in-depth discussions on key issues surrounding China and its development. The 2016 Forum, held at LSE on 30th January 2016 and attended by over 400 delegates, hosted 29 speakers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Europe and the United States. Titled Navigating Complexity, the Forum considered China’s environmental sustainability; economy; ethnic policy/conflict; abolishment of the One Child Policy; and the question of Deng Xiaoping’s ‘One Country Two Systems’ in Hong Kong. Looking ahead, the 2016 Forum also analysed China’s outward, future-thinking initiatives; imagined China’s foreign policy outlook as a rising superpower, assessed the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank’s impact, and the grand ‘One Belt, One Road’ vision to extend China’s reach.
