Synopsis of Lecture:

Since the reform and opening-up, China’s economy has boomed along with social progress, achievements which have drawn the world’s attention. However, the transformation of the economy and social structure has created all kinds of conflicts and problems. Since 2013, the Chinese government has repeatedly stressed the will to eradicate poverty, to improve people’s livelihood, and to gradually achieve common prosperity. This involves the implementation of related policies to promote social development. China’s decision-making policy is a collaborative effort among government, academia, think tanks, and the target group, in which academics and think tanks play an irreplaceable essential role.

To promote relevant academic exchanges and policy researches, the Universities Service Centre for China Studies of the Chinese University of Hong Kong will hold a series of seminars on Chinese Society and Policy. The theme of the second meeting is “The Transition of Marriage and Family in China”, which will be held on 20th October 2017. We invite experts and scholars from various fields to discuss the current situation and future of Chinese society.
