ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

The Yangtze River region of China provides access to almost a half-billion people or a third of China's population. As China's wealth continues to build, this population base has the potential to provide business access to massive labor and consumer markets. Nowhere else in the world are new cities, ports and opportunities emerging at the pace that they are along the Yangtze River.

The authors, Jon Monroe and Chengxi Shen, will share details of the Yangtze River's emergence as a principal engine of growth in the world.
