Senior fellow of the john l. China center at brookings. Its my pleasure to welcome you to this important event on chinas longterm Economic Outlook and its global implications. This event is unusual in present day washington for at least three reasons. First, as it has been widely perceived, people here have been preoccupied with Current Issues and the immediate challenges.

As we cross into the new decade, it will be important to look ahead toward chinas economic progress and the challenges it will present, both for china and for the world.
