Xi sets out economic road map for China Dream

Professorial Fellow John Wong from the East Asian Institute at NUS noted that President Xi Jinping chose to address long-term issues at the 19th party congress of the Chinese Communist Party: specifically how to realise his “China Dream for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”. Prof Wong highlighted that with a declining labour force, China’s future growth will depend on productivity growth, which in turn depends critically on successful institutional changes, as well as innovation and further technological progress.
