2026 CHINA IN THE WORLD ANNUAL LECTURE
The Evolution of Chinese Economic Strategy Under Xi Jinping
China’s economic strategy has repeatedly pivoted since Xi Jinping first ascended to his country’s paramount leadership in 2013 – and each pivot has dramatically reshaped aspects of China’s economic, social and political life.
Xi Jinping assumed power as Deng Xiaoping’s program of "reform and opening" had been in operation for 35 years. Xi initially seemed destined to carry that program forward, as had Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao before him. Shortly after taking office, Xi proclaimed the "decisive role" of markets in allocating resources and promoted the rapid expansion of private enterprise.
Yet, more than a decade on, the philosophical underpinnings of "Xi Jinping Economic Thought" are now inextricably tied to the agency of the Marxist-Leninist state across all domains of economic policy. . Rather than market forces, Xi's new economic vision preaches "national self-sufficiency", "top-level design" and "comprehensive security". Xi has unapologetically framed techno/industrial policy as the driving force of China's future economic model. He intends China to leapfrog the United States in critical new technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and fusion. These, he hopes, will serve as crucial tools in Beijing's overall strategic competition with the United States.
In this lecture, Kevin Rudd explores the ideological assumptions that lie beneath Xi Jinping's revisions of China's economic strategy. Where is China's economic strategy likely to head next? And what are its implications for the rest of the world?
