China's Overseas Financing: Origins, Practices and Global Debate

As the global industrial chain undergoes profound restructuring and emerging markets collectively seek development transitions, how can China deeply integrate into globalization and reshape its relationship with the world order?

On Wednesday, May 20 from 3-4:30 PM, join us for an in-person talk led by Dr. Yan Xue to explore China's gains and losses in the wave of globalization. The event will focus on China-Africa engagement through the lens of two major visions: the African Union’s 2063 Agenda and China's Belt and Road initiative, with a brief analysis of relevant topics including the debt crisis. The event will be followed by an Q & A session from attendees.

About the speaker:

Since 2017, he has worked across more than 20 countries in Africa, advancing China–Africa economic cooperation through the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative and overseas financing strategies.
