Features: "As early as the mid-1980s, it was recognized that free and practical in-depth discussions on relevant issues were a necessary condition for the success of reforms. This book is a collection of debates by renowned scholars from the '21st Century Beijing Roundtable' forum, a continuous discussion platform on major theoretical and policy issues of China's development and reform. It is hoped that its publication will help the academic community reach as much consensus as possible on these issues."

Over 110 domestic economists, scholar-officials, and business thinkers gathered at the '21st Century Beijing Roundtable' to delve into various major issues in the field of economics. The clash of elite ideas and the confrontation of cutting-edge concepts converged, sparking more thought-provoking wisdom through broad perspectives and profound insights. Focusing on China's issues and major economic events, the forum of intellectual elites distilled the reform path of the Chinese model, forged a universally valuable 'Beijing Consensus,' and shaped pioneering concepts with significant forward-looking implications for China's reforms. Whether China can rise as a civilized nation depends on numerous factors, including politics, economics, and international strategy. Therefore, the scope of the 21st Century Beijing Roundtable is extensive, repeatedly touching on controversial yet crucial topics such as macroeconomic regulation, the 'three rural issues,' foreign investment and foreign trade, financial reform, state-owned asset reform, and the non-public economy.
