We have a preference that there should be important themes which could be of interest to more than one discipline. Accordingly, without wishing to discourage any paper which fits the general title, we could have a particular interest in papers which would fit (even loosely) into one, or more than one, of the following themes:
  
• China and the global economy
• Development initiatives:  Belt and Road, Greater Bay Area  
• Societal groups:  farmers, labor, internal migrants, entrepreneurs, retirees
• Environment and sustainability issues
• Financial sector: new technologies, challenges, and policies Industrial policy
• International trade and investment 
• Emerging technologies:  AI, AR, IOT, VR
• Urbanization and rural development
• US-China relationship
• China’s role in international trade and investment  
  
Presenters are invited, where appropriate, to discuss the policy implications of their academic analyses. Each member institution of ICCS is invited to nominate one or two representatives to present a paper.
