CCAS-KAS Diginar: China's Internal Situation Post COVID: An Overview

- Held on on Tuesday, 15th September 2020 on Cisco Webex platform

China’s internal situation has become a subject of considerable speculation in the current geopolitical scenario as there are clear indications that popular dissatisfaction and discontent with Chinese President Xi Jinping continue to simmer just below the surface inside China. The economic slowdown, unemployment and rising cost of living have contributed to the discontent. The slowdown in China’s economy has been accentuated by the US-China trade war and its impact is being felt in other areas too including the strategic Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In addition to the developments in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Coronavirus pandemic has certainly dented, if not damaged, the CCP and Xi Jinping’s image. In order to discuss further on this theme, the Centre for China Analysis and Strategy (CCAS) together with the India Office of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) organized a diginar on the topic "China's Internal Situation, Post COVID: An Overview" on Tuesday, 15th September 2020 on Cisco Webex platform.
