Edinburgh Lectures: Will Hutton on China's Rise
N.B. This event has been rescheduled from 20 March
The Guardian newspaper's chief economics and finance journalist Will Hutton lays out the implications of "China's century" for the West in The Writing on the Wall: China and the west in the 21st century.
China already has a fifth of the world's population and the fifth largest economy. In 20 years it is set to become second only to the US. Hutton asks how this transition and rise - both internally in China and externally in the world beyond - can be done safely. The world's peace and prosperity depends upon it.
The lecture is in the Hawthornden Lecture Theatre.
