Event Summary

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influences, in one way or another, the governance of every organization in the country and is without equivalent in any other major economy. Its hand, felt with varying grip across Chinese industries, state-owned enterprises, and private sector firms, intersects and interacts with international mechanisms of corporate governance in unique ways. This session will explore the CCP’s role in China’s business landscape and its recent evolution.
