Report
We examine three G20 case countries—Brazil, South Korea, and Indonesia—and their likely responses to both US and Chinese economic statecraft in an escalation of tensions over Taiwan.
Report
Compared to its own 2010 baseline, China has improved. However, further progress has been elusive, and our indicators suggest China has hit limits on convergence with the OECD. This gap will likely remain in the coming years.
Note
The allocation of capital for China's industrial policy—be it direct grants, credit, or PE-VC investment—does not necessarily follow the objectives announced in Beijing policies.
Note
External relations can only be positive if China demonstrates convergence with market norms. Based on the China Pathfinder framework, the opposite is in evidence, and market economies will discuss how to react at the coming G7 leader’s summit.
