Navigating China's Rise, Global Investments, and the Road to IPOs

China has defied expectations-again and again. In just a few decades, it has transformed from an agrarian economy into the world's second-largest financial powerhouse. But what's next? Is China truly on a trajectory to surpass Western economies, or are there hidden risks ahead?

The questions are many, but should we trust the political rhetoric?

In Is China in for a Hard or Soft Landing?, T.H. Svedlund, a seasoned corporate legal strategist and investor, offers an insider's perspective on China's rapid ascent, dissecting the key economic, political, and financial forces at play. Having guided multiple Chinese companies through international IPOs, M&A deals, and foreigners direct investments (FDIs) in China, Svedlund provides a firsthand account of China's evolving global strategy-and what it means for investors, policymakers, and business leaders worldwide.
