2010 Spring Symposium
The Paradox of China's
Transformation
May 17-18 in Washington, DC
This symposium addressed the rising tension between China's tremendous economic growth and international influence over recent decades as it faces environmental and developmental challenges. As China increases its international reach, internal issues of transparency, human rights, product safety, pollution, energy and water have emerged. We discussed issues of concern to social investors as they look to Chinese firms and the Chinese market to make sound investments and make a difference for their clients.
