7 Economic restructuring 7

8 Over three decades China experienced radical changes in the composition of production and income 8

9 Massive changes in China s domestic economy mirrored by important shifts globally 9

10 Ownership and efficiency 10

11 Changing ownership and incentives in the economy played a key role in the economic boom 11

12 but the shift towards a private economy is not strictly one way 12

13 SOEs remain major players in some sectors, despite clear inefficiencies 13

14 Economic reform and growth 14

15 Reform: The speed we re used to 1978 Third Plenum 1993 Third Plenum Reform Opening for foreign investment projects Duel Track Currency Exchange Town-Village Enterprise Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures Law Special Economic Zones: Shantou, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Zhuhai Household Responsibility Reform (rural farm reform) 14 coastal cities and three provinces designated as open to foreign investment General Principles of Civil Law: legal support for private market activity Exchange rate unification and reform Approved FDI permitted nationwide Fiscal reform Central bank reform Industrial state owned enterprise reform Price Law - price reform WTO entry Year

17 Outlook and challenges Near-medium term challenges are numerous and substantial, but not insurmountable. Setbacks have occurred and will occur in some areas. Much implementation remains to be seen but policy momentum is consistent with a rigorous decade-long reform agenda.

32 Political outlook David Yang 32

33 Overview: Domestic politics Pres. Xi Jinping has achieved high centralization of power Legal reforms emphasized at recent 4 th Plenum Administrative reforms to reduce local gov t interference But local leaders have other levers to indirectly influence judges Anti-corruption campaign still ongoing Instrument to remove obstacles to further economic reforms? 33

34 Overview: External relations High-level dialogues with Japan resumed after 4-yr gap Military exchanges with Vietnam resumed after May standoff Current One Belt, One Road campaign - response to U.S. pivot? 34

35 The anti-corruption campaign: Targeting both Tigers & Flies Current anti-corruption drive unprecedented in reach Former Politburo Standing Committee member Zhou Yongkang Former Central Military Commission Deputy Chair Xu Caihou Number of senior officials censured in the first 20 months of Xi s tenure more than the previous five years combined Figure 1: Number of officials formally investigated for corruption Total Provincial/Ministerial level (RHS) 0 Notes: 2014 based on reports through August Source: IHS 35

36 The anti-corruption campaign: Effect on businesses Some evidence that intensity of crackdown negatively correlated with GDP growth & FDI at provincial level Crackdown has slowed project approvals Reduced flow of funds has depressed real estate prices Figure 2: GDP growth vs. investigation rate by province 2014 Q1 GDP growth rate Source: IHS 12% 11% 10% 9% 8% 7% 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% Officials investigated per million IHS expects negative impact of the campaign to be only temporary 36

37 The anti-corruption campaign: Outlook Current campaign will continue until at least 2017 Intensity may slacken over the next 3 years We do not expect the current campaign to significantly reduce corruption risks beyond the next three years Xi s position will be unassailable after the next Party Congress 37

38 The anti-monopoly campaign: Selective enforcement against MNCs? Multiple sectors affected since 2013 Jan. 2013: Samsung and 5 other LCD makers fined $57M Aug. 2013: 5 foreign & 1 local baby formula makers fined $110M Nov. 2013: Qualcomm investigation began, w/ potential $1B fine May 2014: 5 foreign optometric makers fined $3.1M Jul. 2014: Microsoft offices raided in anti-trust probe Aug. 2014: Audi, Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz & Toyota investigated 38

39 The anti-monopoly campaign: Selective enforcement against MNCs? Some domestic firms have been investigated Luxury distillers Maotai & Wuliangye Jewelry retailers such as Laofengxiang China Unicom & China Telecom (ongoing since 2011) Automaker FAW Group (ongoing since 2012) Major SOEs more likely to avoid fines through negotiation Similar enforcement bias in U.S. Sherman Act cases? 39

40 The anti-monopoly campaign: Outlook Cases against foreign firms do not always benefit domestic producers who compete on price Sectoral struggles may be more important (e.g. insurers vs. auto-parts makers) Gov t more sensitive to perceptions of selective enforcement MNCs that sell directly to consumers remain vulnerable LT 40

41 The Occupy Central protests: Key issues Basic framework laid down by PRC National People s Congress on 31 August: HKSAR Chief Executive to be elected by universal suffrage in candidates to be nominated by pro-beijing nominating committee Opposition Pan-Democrats demand direct nominations But nominating committee is stipulated under Basic Law NPC framework must be adopted by HK Legislative Council 41

42 The Occupy Central protests: Key players The protests involve a range of groups, united in their dissatisfaction with the NPC framework, but unclear on specific demands: Student groups (e.g. Hong Kong Federation of Students, Scholarism) form the core Opposition parties have not played a leadership role Labor union participation is minimal A number of fringe groups are likely to be more militant 42

43 The Occupy Central protests: Key players Student groups such as the Hong Kong Federation of Students & Scholarism form the core of the protests Opposition parties support the protests, but have not played a leadership role The participation of labour unions has been minimal A number of fringe groups are likely to be more militant Groups are united in their dissatisfaction with the NPC framework, but unclear on their specific demands 43

44 The Occupy Central protests: Locations and numbers Protest sites in Hong Kong November 2014 Hong Kong & Vicinity Number of Occupy protesters as of late October Admiralty/Central: ~4,000; ~2,000 tents Mongkok: ~2,800; 100 tents Source: AFP Causeway Bay: 200; 37 tents 44

45 The Occupy Central protests: Prospects for resolution Direct Chinese intervention is unlikely No compromise is likely on Beijing s basic framework Economic impact of the protests will be relatively minor the HK gov t can afford to be patient No clear consensus among protesters, a resolution will likely have to be brokered by opposition party leaders Some police coercion may be needed to remove hold-outs 45
