EVENT DETAILS

UC Irvine Annual China Conference

The UC Irvine Annual China Conference: Poor China/Rich China: Poverty, Wealth, and Inequality

Full conference details can be found here. 

“Rising China” is imagined as a land of success, where living standards have shot up in a short space of time, and where a “new middle class” now thrives. This conference does something different: it examines two polar sides of the wealth spectrum, and asks: Why and how did the country’s economic “reform” produce a “new rich” and a “new poor?”
