The Future of China Due Diligence: Where do you get your information and data?
Join three career China watchers to understand the past, present, and future of China's data and information landscape.
Understanding China’s economy and doing due diligence on Chinese companies have always presented challenges and defied global — and especially Western — standards and expectations. As independent journalism has all but evaporated and as all aspects of financial and economic policy are increasingly bent towards political Party interests, the situation has gotten even murkier in recent years. Join three career China watchers to understand the past, present, and future of China’s data and information landscape.
