SUMMARY:Small Banks\, Big Politics: The Causes and Consequences of Bank Pr
 oliferation in China
LOCATION:School of Global Policy and Strategy Robinson Building 3\, Room 3
 202\, 9815 International Lane\, La Jolla\, CA 92093
DESCRIPTION:Conventional wisdom holds that banking markets flourish where 
 property rights are secure\, the rule of law is strong\, and the state ke
 eps its hands off. China has none of these. Yet over the past three decad
 es\, the number of Chinese banks grew exponentially\, and competition bec
 ame fierce. Why?\n\nAdam Y. Liu argues that China’s banking sector is a m
 arket of the state\, by the state\, and for the state\, and that its bank
 ing market grew not despite authoritarian rule but because of it.\n\nLiu 
 is the author of “In Authoritarian Markets: The Politics of China’s Banki
 ng Explosion” (2026). Drawing on a decade of fieldwork and extensive orig
 inal data\, he uncovers the political logic behind the development of ban
 king markets in China and other authoritarian states —and explores what i
 t means for the future of China’s economy.\n\nSpeaker:\nAdam Y. Liu\, Ass
 istant Professor of Political Science\, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Pol
 icy\, National University of Singapore\n\nModerator:\nVictor Shih\, Profe
 ssor\, and Ho Miu Lam Chair in China and Pacific Relations\, UC San Diego
