SUMMARY:GCC #48 From Mao to Xi: How Did the CCP Rise—and How Does It Steer China’s Development?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #48 \nFrom Mao to Xi: How Did the CCP Rise—and How Does It Steer China’s Development?\n07 May 2026\n11:00 – 12:00 CEST\nOnline with registration: Register online \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nChina’s rise as a global economic and political power is closely linked to the evolving role of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in shaping development strategies and governance structures. As geopolitical tensions increase and China’s global footprint expands\, understanding the institutional foundations of CCP rule is becoming increasingly relevant for policymakers and researchers alike. This Global China Conversation connects historical trajectories with present-day developments\, and provides a framework for understanding how political authority and economic transformation are intertwined in China’s development path. How has the CCP historically built and maintained political control while transforming China’s economic system? How do institutional arrangements and political incentives shape policy implementation and economic outcomes? And to what extent do historical governance practices continue to influence China’s development model under Xi Jinping? \nProgram\nThe event consists of two impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #48 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature \nChen\, T. and Kung\, J.

SUMMARY:GCC #49 Adapting under Fire: How China Responds to Overseas Conflict Risks in the US-Iran War?
DESCRIPTION:Adapting under Fire: How China Responds to Overseas Conflict Risks in the US-Iran War?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe recent escalation of hostilities in the Persian Gulf has shone a spotlight on China’s exposure to conflict risks: both Iran and smaller states on the other side of the Gulf are home to significant Chinese investments and major suppliers of energy and other inputs for China’s economy. Such a clustering in high-risk areas is characteristic for Chinese foreign investments\, especially those made under the Belt and Road Initiative. This presents China with the challenge of protecting its sprawling overseas interests\, while its foreign policy still espouses the principles of noninterference and noninterventionism. This Global China Conversation will examine how China deals with this problem\, and how its foreign policy is changing as a result. While China remains more hesitant than other great powers to directly intervene in conflicts\, it is developing a distinct form of security agency centered on domestic security cooperation\, diplomatic mediation and employing geoeconomic leverage. But how effective is this approach? How is China grappling with an increasingly turbulent world\, and what can the Iran war tell us about the limits of its agency? \nProgram\nThe event consists of two impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #49 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nPascal Abb\nPascal Abb is a senior researcher at the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt\, focusing on how a rising China engages with global conflict environments. He is currently conducting a DFG project on China’s adaptation to conflict risks\, and guest edited a recent special issue on this topic in the Journal of Contemporary China. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChuchu Zhang\nChuchu Zhang is an Associate Professor and the Deputy Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Fudan University. As an expert in international political economy\, Zhang’s research primarily focuses on China-Middle Eastern relations\, international development\, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Her most recent book on this issue\, „China’s Changing Role in the Middle East: Filling a Power Vacuum?“\, was published by Routledge in 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModeration\n\n\n\nPaulina Alibhai\nPaulina Alibhai has been a member of the research center International Finance and Macroeconomics since September 2022.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #50 China Shock 2.0: How Can the German Automotive Industry Respond?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #50\nChina Shock 2.0: How Can the German Automotive Industry Respond?\n\n\n\n\n  \n30.06.2026\, 11:00 – 12:00 CEST \n\n\n\n\n\nWith registration: Registration for online participation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChina’s rise as an automotive powerhouse is reshaping competitive dynamics in the global car industry and challenging one of the pillars of Germany’s economy. Chinese EV manufacturers are expanding their technological capabilities\, scaling production at remarkable speed\, and entering European markets with highly competitive prices and rapidly improving quality. At the same time\, German automakers remain deeply tied to China for sales\, production\, and innovation. As geopolitical tensions grow and industrial policies become more assertive\, German automakers face pressure to adapt their business operations and long-term strategies. How serious is the challenge posed by rising Chinese competition for German manufacturers and suppliers? Where do German automakers and suppliers continue to hold a competitive edge? Where can German and Chinese automakers and suppliers continue to cooperate? And what role should German and European economic policy play in maintaining competitiveness and technological leadership\, while safeguarding openness? \nProgram\nThe event consists of two impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #50 will be held in English. \nAttendance is possible online via Zoom or in Berlin (Representation of the State Government Schleswig-Holstein (In den Ministergärten 8-10\, 10117 Berlin) as part of the 3rd Kiel-Göttingen-CEPR Conference. \nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n© Dominik Butzmann\n\n\n\n\nManuel Kallweit\nManuel Kallweit\, born in 1983 in Eisenach\, studied economics in Würzburg and Barcelona.
