Public Administration Priorities and Challenges in China, a Conversation with Dr Lan Xue, Dean of the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University, Beijing.

China’s multi-decade high economic growth levels, significant demographic shifts and environmental challenges have attracted much international public attention, not least because hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens have been lifted out of poverty. It is now restored to great power status.

In this video Dr Lan Xue joins UNU Rector David M. Malone for a conversation exploring the opportunities and potential pitfalls that beckon for public policy in China in the years ahead.
