Asia Programme Meeting

Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to invite you to the following China Discussion Group meeting which will take place at Chatham House, 10 St James's Square, London.

Wednesday 9 February

13.00-14.30

CHINA´S RISE: A 4,000 YEAR TURNING POINT?

SPEAKER: EAMONN FINGLETON, Author and Former Editor, Forbes and the Financial Times

CHAIR: HUGH DAVIES, Chairman, China Association

The speaker will examine what he considers to be the key driver of the East Asian economic model, intelligent authoritarianism. He will discuss the economic success of China and why it may be seen as one of the most important turning points in political history.

Eamonn Fingleton is a former editor for the Financial Times and Forbes and has been watching East Asian economics from a base in Tokyo since 1985. He is one of the few Western journalists to have met the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, and was virtually alone among Tokyo-based observers in predicting the Japanese financial crash. He is the author of In the Jaws of the Dragon: America´s Fate in the Coming Era of Chinese Dominance.
