Future of China

The goal of the project “Future of China” is to map out the anticipated developments that are likely to impact the future of China. We develop this project in collaboration with a number of leading experts on China from several countries.

The project “Future of China” is led by Jephraim P. Gundzik, previously founder and president of Condor Advisers, Inc.

Below is the map of driving factors that the project currently tracks.

To ensure consistency, the event field of the project is built from two opposite directions at the same time: from the long-term scenarios towards the present by establishing a set of trigger points, and from the present towards the future by converting observed trends into anticipated events. Contributing experts add their forecasts and continuously update the map to factor in the latest developments.

As the forecasts made by different experts using independent methodologies are translated into anticipated events, we can crosscheck and refine our assumptions and expectations. The Future Map allows simultaneously mapping and tracking the developments anticipated in the immediate future (1 month -12 months), medium term (2 - 5 years) and long term (10 - 30 years).

By having the capacity to show a variety of visions of the future side-by-side, we can better evaluate future scenarios, reconcile conflicting information, understand alternative perspectives, identify discontinuities and examine gaps in our knowledge. Below is a snapshot of a small part of the Event Field of the project.
