China: strategic priorities and economic transformation

China remains one of the most important and at the same time most
complex markets for globally operating companies. At the same time,
the economic and geopolitical environment around the country is
changing rapidly. In this episode of our podcast series Meet the
Geopolitical Insiders, Dr. Benedikt Herles, Co Lead of the
Geopolitics and Defence Competence Center at KPMG, speaks with two
leading China experts about China’s strategic direction and what it
means for international businesses. Neil Thomas, Fellow on Chinese
Politics at the Center for China Analysis at the Asia Society
Policy Institute, explains the political priorities of President Xi
Jinping and their implications for companies. In the second part,
Andrew Polk, Co Founder and Head of Economic Research at Trivium
China, analyzes the transformation of China’s economic model and
