The biggest challenge the Chinese communist regime faces is its relationship with the United States, said economist Xue Lan, dean of Tsinghua University’s Schwarzman College in Beijing.
The foundation for improving relations is to strengthen communication and narrow the knowledge gap between the two countries, Xue said as part of a speech given at a forum held on April 23, 24.
Xue said the second-biggest challenge facing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is an aging population and sub-replacement fertility or declining birth rate.
The third involved correcting deficits in food supplies and energy plus financial debt security.
The fourth referred to problems in the income distribution gap.
