President’s Message
What We Didn’t Know Then
April 2020, English
In my October message, I ruminated on the classic lyric by Bob Seger: “Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.” The lyric provides an invitation to reflect on lost innocence. Though that column was written not long ago, it already feels like the product of a different era. The coronavirus pandemic […]

The Potential of Green Bond Financing in China
April 2020, English
Underlying the urgent need for sustainable, high-quality urbanization in China—a new approach taking hold after decades of unchecked growth—is the question of money.
