The Importance of China in Today’s Global Economy

The rapid growth of China and its integration into the global economy continues to be one of the most important business stories of the past several decades. The ramifications of the massive transformation from an agrarian to a modern, industrial based economy reverberate through China’s domestic, cultural, and political systems; and though businesses around the globe.

Travel to Beijing and Shanghai to experience business in China first-hand in a one-week Global Seminar travel course. You’ll visit with executives from a variety of companies, meet with business policy makers, and engage in meaningful discussions about current business concerns. Of course you’ll also experience the cultural history of China as you walk the Great Wall and, perhaps, see the Beijing opera.

“In China...I walked on a world wonder, experienced an ancient culture and immersed myself into a country of enormous disparity. My original intention was to visit a country that I would not normally visit alone. However, experiencing the intricacies of the Chinese business world has changed my viewpoint of the country. I would work in China in a heartbeat.”
