Seminar by Professor Zhou Dunren, Shanghai:

How China Deals with the Current Economic Crisis: More than the Conventional Understanding

D. R. Zhou (ZHOU, Dunren), professor and former deputy director/co-founder, of the Center For American Studies, Fudan University, Shanghai, the first think tank on university campus in China. He is also a senior research fellow and deputy director, Shanghai Pudong Institute for US Economy, a think tank on municipal basis.

Zhou has spent more than 20 years studying the American economy and American Congress, working twice as Congressional fellow in the House and Senate (1987 and 1999). Zhou also served as academic escort in 1990 for a Chinese Mayoral delegation touring the United States, headed by Mr. Zhu Rongji, later the prime minister of the Chinese government. His teaching and research, as well as consulting for Chinese government and business, fall mostly in these two areas in the context of international (economic ) relations.

Meantime, he has been a keen and close observer of the economic reforms and their social and political implications in China, which enables him to be an inter-facer to give presentations and lectures in dozens of universities and think tanks in the United States and in Europe and at the forums there, and also to address numerous foreign businesses and visitors to China. Zhou has also organized, spoke and attended many international conferences. Apart from teaching, and research, and books and papers, Zhou also writes for Chinese newspapers and appears on Shanghai and H.K. televisions and comments for BBC (Britain) and NPR, CNBC (USA), South China Morning News (H.K.) and Radio Beijing and an American radio.
