NEW YORK, NY, October 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Over the last three decades, China's GDP growth has averaged 9.9% per year, becoming the second largest economy in the world. Despite the adverse effect of the global financial crisis, China has also managed to remain strong, with a projected growth rate of 9% for 2011. Yet many have doubts about the sustainability of China's growth, and urged a major transformation of its economy composition.

How can China keep up its momentum? The 2nd Columbia China Prospects Conference endeavors to answer these questions by fostering discussion in the following fields: What strategies can be taken to effectively stimulate domestic market after many years of setting it up the agenda? How would U.S. and China work together to foster mutual benefits? Where are the opportunities for multinational corporations, as well as domestic enterprise in the transformation of China's economy?

Which industries will be the new engines of China's economy? The Conference will host 50 speakers and over 700 participants, including students and professors at Columbia and other leading universities, as well as young and experienced professionals desiring to deepen their knowledge about China's transformation.
