About the Course

In 1978, after nearly 30 years of socialist planning under Mao Zedong, China was one of the world’s poorest countries, saddled with an inefficient, inward-looking economy. Today, China is an upper-middle income country and the world’s largest trading nation, contributing more to global economic growth than any other nation. How could such a remarkable transformation take place? This course will examine in detail the reforms that have contributed to China’s economic development and the current challenges facing the Chinese economy. After completing this course, you will be able to: - describe the origin and consequences of China’s key economic reforms since 1978; - explain how features of China’s fiscal and financial systems have impacted development outcomes; - assess the extent to which China has integrated itself into the global economy and the consequences of such integration for China and other countries; - explain the importance of different sources of economic growth during different periods since 1978; and - critically assess the economic and policy challenges facing China going forward. This course does not offer certificate at the moment. Course Overview video: https://youtu.be/YBkhpvWUoIw...

A great course for anyone interested in learning about China. You can expect your perceptions of China, along with the driving forces behind China's rapid transformation, to be challenged.

Good introduction of economic reforms in China since 1978 and their impact on Chinese economy. A must to understand the huge success of this nation, the current debate on China as an unfair competitor vs the US, the challenges ahead to escape the "middle income trap" and enter the high earning countries league.

A basic understanding of economy is not essential but helps in understanding the most technical concepts.

Very insightful course. I particular like the integration of lectures, panel interviews, and company visits. To make the course even better, I may suggest to update figures and numbers in the charts. Looking forward to Part 2.
