China’s Future Paths by
Ken Duggan
Ken’s talk will be a very philosophical overview of China as a result of 10 years’ experience over his 40 visits
to 15 cities within China. Basing his discussion on Education, Travel and Culture, Business and Finance,
China's Geo-Political Strategies, Internal Politics, the Environment and Value Structures, he will reflect on China’s Future Paths.
In an open conversation-style format to encourage audience participation, Ken will be looking at how these areas have changed
(or not at all!) and what future challenges may need to be addressed.
