China Quest

Our Quests to China enable participants to learn about the world’s most populous country which is achieving astonishing growth and transformation, and is expected to make the leap from developing country to major super power in the coming decades. During our China Quests we typically visit the east coast of China, basing ourselves in either Beijing, with a visit to Tianjin or in Shanghai, including visits to the Yangtze river delta cities of Suzhou and Wuxi. We then typically move for the second half of the week to the south west of the country basing ourselves in either Chengdu or  Chongqing and including visits to smaller communities such as, Guiyang, Yinchuan and Bayanhaote, This allows us to experience both the extraordinary growth and dynamism of the east coast, and the great interior where around 850m of China’s population live and work.  Some of our China Quests also include time in Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

Issues covered in the experiences, visits and meetings of the Quest:
  • The growing role and impact of China in the world; Chinese perspectives of the rest of the world
  • The impact of the rapid opening up of much of the country on attitudes, practices and future opportunities
  • The experience of international companies and overseas investors in China
  • The richness and diversity of one of the oldest civilizations and its  impact  on the world’s largest population
  • The interaction of politics, business and civil society 
  • The new generation of Chinese leaders and their growing impact on China’s future
  • The development of civic society and the workings of community in China  
  • The country’s evolving beliefs in an evolving economic growth
  • The growth of Chinese entrepreneurship
  • China’s vast  rural economy and the challenging contrast between this and the developed economy
  • The evolving industrialisation of China’s interior, and the future of rural livelihoods.
