In the China Weekly Hangout we discussed this week the upcoming political transition in China, with political scientist Greg Anderson and Janet Carmosky of the China Business Network, moderated by Fons Tuinstra of the China Speakers Bureau.

Let us know if this segmentation is working better in stead of a full hour of video. We will watch the traffic and your feedback; based on that we might adjust the format next month.

In the first segment we learn that the harmonious society, the catch all phrase from outgoing president Hu Jintao has not been a huge success, despite the good initial intentions.

In part two we discuss the coming ten years, what are the driving political forces and what can we say about upcoming president Xi Jinping to make a change in China.


In the third segment we shortly discuss the US-China relations, and what the upcoming presidential elections in China might mean for them.

Is China a copy-and-paste culture, stealing innovation from others, or the upcoming paradise for global innovation, replacing Silicon Valley? Two schools of thought are heavily divided on the innovation issue and the China Weekly Hangout on Thursday 11 October is going to try to drill a bit deeper than the daily one-liners about this subject. You can register here on our dedicated event page.

For this hangout we have invited eminent experts on innovation on China:
Fons Tuinstra of the China Speakers Bureau will moderate. 

Together with a few other subjects like sustainability, international relations and political and economic developments, innovation is likely an issue that will make regular appearances in our China Weekly Hangout. In this first innovation hangout we will draw some first sketches and dive into China's possibilities in the auto market. In the official hangout only a few additional seats are available, do drop us a line if you want to join.
Others can follow the event on YouTube and give comments or ask questions a our dedicated event page.

Every two, three months we will address additional issues regarding innovation like: education, intellectual property, creativity, government policies, Confucianism and other elements of the innovation debate. If you want to get regular updates, do register at our China Weekly Hangout page or you can register for this event only at our event page. Changes will be announced here, and at our event page.

The China Week is in principle held every Thursday from 10pm Beijing Time, 4pm CEST (Europe) and 10am EST (US). During and after the hangout a YouTube screen and link will be available on this page.
