CELEBRATING CHINA

100 years

One hundred years ago, on 10 October 1911, the first modern Chinese revolution of the 20th century occurred. An obsolete monarchy was overthrown and the Republic of China was proclaimed – a transformation that paved the way for China's emergence as a great global power.

Coinciding with the anniversary, IMD's Team China explores the current business landscape in China.
