November 12, 2019 —To enrich the professional field knowledge of SUFE students, improve their professional quality and broaden their international vision, we sincerely invite Dr. mark Kruger, the former economist from the monetary and Financial Analysis Department of Bank of Canada, to give a special lecture entitled " The Trade War and China’s Medium-Term Prospects " to the students of the Master program of International Organizations.

Dr. Mark Kruger started from the rapid growth of China's GDP, pointed out the attraction of China's rapid growth to the world, as well as China's "three pillars" policy - to achieve growth goals, promote financial stability, manage protectionist pressures, and promote each other's role. Finally, he analyzed the challenges of Global trade system governance.

Dr. Mark Kruger believes that China must change its growth model. China's current investment rate is very high, but the labor force is decreasing, and it must rely on improving productivity to achieve economic development, not just increasing investment.
