Read on for a sneak peak of this week's 'China 5' newsletter, bringing you 5 big things you need to know about China each Friday from our experts at the Center for China Analysis ⬇ 1️⃣ On Monday, President Xi presented China’s top science and technology award, stating in a speech that the “technological revolution is intertwined with the superpower rivalry, and the high-tech sector has become the main battlefield.” — Yifan Zhang, Affiliated Researcher 2️⃣ At the 2024 Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai — the prime stage for announcing financial reforms — People’s Bank of China governor Pan Gongsheng and China Securities Regulatory Commission chairman Wu Qing announced sweeping reforms aimed at overhauling China’s financial sector. — Lizzi C. Lee, Fellow on Chinese Economy, 3️⃣ For the first time in 24 years, Putin visited the DPRK and met with Kim Jong Un, upgrading the relationship to a "comprehensive strategic partnership." China’s muted response to the meeting may suggest uncertainty over the implications for China’s strategic interests. — Lyle Morris 4️⃣ Southern China continues to experience unusually heavy precipitation, triggering flash floods and mudslides. The rain’s intensity has caused significant infrastructure damage across southern China. Preliminary estimates place damages at $650 million and counting. — Taylah Bland 5️⃣ On Tuesday, China’s Chang’e-6 lunar lander successfully returned from the dark side of the Moon. CNSA continues to meet its goals and is on track to send astronauts to the Moon by 2030 and build an operational lunar base by 2035. This stands in contrast to the continued delays in NASA’s Artemis program. — Ian Lane Smith 🇨🇳 Sign up for the 'China 5' newsletter to never miss an update: https://lnkd.in/epwVsmPe

In a new report from the Center for China Analysis, Senior Fellow on Taiwan Simona A. Grano analyzes newly elected Taiwanese president Lai Ching-Te’s inaugural address and how it framed cross-Strait issues, Taiwan’s relationship with China, and other important topics. She concludes that, among other factors, how the PRC conducts its Taiwan-related policies will largely depend on how the Lai administration deals with a divided legislature and other domestic tensions.
