About the Event
Discover the complexities of China's governance system through the research of renowned scholar Dr. Jessica Teets, an FPRI Templeton Fellow and Professor at Middlebury College. Her research unravels the mysteries of China's domestic governance system.
Dr. Teets surveyed 1,500 local officials across 28 provinces, revealing the intricate policy process and cadre evaluation system of China. Thanks to her, we understand that the system has become more centralized under President Xi Jinping's "top-level design."
Join us at our FPRI office in Philadelphia where Dr. Teets' provides an insightful exploration into the contemporary landscape of China's governance and the implications of its recent institutional changes.
