As part of a week of events tied to the transformation of China in the "New Era"—"The Vanguard Acts: A Focus on China at the Dawn of its 'New Era'"—this roundtable brings together a group of scholars form China, Europe, and the U.S. who will consider the further implications of the 19th CPC Congress more specifically in the context of the important objectives of developing Socialist Rule of Law and governance. That exploration implicates significant initiatives both internally and in the context of China’s growing external relations. Participants will consider the development of internal disciplinary systems, their rules and structures, as well as Chinese external initiatives—principally the One Belt One Road Initiative. The relevance of big data management, artiifial intelligence, and algorithms will also be considered.

All are welcome to attend and participate either in person or through an interactive live streaming of the event. Participants will be afforded ample time for questions which may be submitted online or in person.
