Description	With a rapid economic downturn, the Chinese Communist Party looks suddenly vulnerable. With a legitimacy built around maintaining its breakneck pace of growth, the Party now faces potential social unrest and massive public dissatisfaction as jobs are lost and economic growth plunges. What challenges does the current leadership face? And what shoes will the next generation of leaders have to fill? Tackling these issues for us will be Professor Cheng Li, Brookings Institution, and Dr Pradeep Taneja, The University of Melbourne. Professor Li is Director of Research at the John L. Thornton China Center, an initiative of the Brookings Institution. He is also a director of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, and focuses on the transformation of political leaders, generational change and technological development in China. Dr Pradeep Taneja’s current research interests focus on the relationship between politics and business in China, the political implications of China’s energy security policy and the rise of China as a regional and global power.
