Introduction

Understanding China’s development is important to everyone in the contemporary society. Looking back over the past five years, China has undergone an all-round transformation. After three decades of transformation, reform guidelines unveiled by top decision makers set the tone for how the world’s second largest economy will deepen its reforms in the new stage. In 2013, President Xi Jinping presented a new and proactive foreign policy, ‘Striving For Achievement’. Thereafter China immediately launches projects including “One Belt One Road”,

‘AIIB’ and ‘a Community of Shared Future’. These initiatives have been perceived as the practices of China’s great power strategy.

With an envision to enhance the understanding of China’s internal reforms and the new Chinese foreign policy, the 1st University of Sydney China Development Forum is committed to engaging Chinese experts from different fields to exchange views and to spark ideas on China’s development – of its past, present and future.
