Liaoning University International Conference 2024    

China Development and the Global Economy    

June 8. 2024  

Over the past four and a half decades, China’s growth has been the envy of the world, and has contributed significantly to the global economic growth.  However, the past ten years has proven to be challenging.  The New Normal, population aging, trade friction, geopolitical tension, and COVID have all weighed heavy on China’s rate of growth.  Though China’s commitment to the battle against global warming, the BRI, and the success in AI development are all hopes for the future, both domestically and globally.  

In this challenging environment, China’s development needs to combine institutional reforms and industrial upgrade, stem the tide of deglobalization, and lower the tension geopolitically.  This conference is aimed at bringing together leading scholars in the area to share and exchange ideas that would benefit both China and the world.  We welcome submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics:  

High-quality economic development of China  

New Normality and Economic Stability  

BRI and its global effects  

Digital economy and digital trade  

Digital transformation and labour market consequences  

Population Aging and Fertility  

Environment and sustainability  

Change and upgrade of Chinese trade structure in the new era of deglobalization  

      Trade fictions and sustainable global supply chains  

Openness of Northeast China and trade cooperation of Northeast Asia            

China’s inward and outward foreign direct investment  

Innovation and business development  

      Regional development and internal migration  

      New-type urbanization, social insurance and health care
