Professor Shaun Breslin recently participated in the panel "China's Third Plenum: Another Turning Point?" at Chatham House, London.

Following the Third Plenum of the Communist Party’s 18th Central Committee in November 2013, the panel offers their thoughts on whether the economic, political and social reforms announced, such as the relaxation of the one child policy and establishment of a national security council, signal a new era for China’s domestic and foreign policies. The speakers consider how significant these reforms will be in comparison to those announced in 1978 by Deng Xiaoping following the Third Plenum of the 11th Central Committee.
