The CEA annual conference was held at the University of Glasgow from 5 to 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
August 2025, on digital transformation and economic structural change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The association reports more than 200 participants, from China, the United<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kingdom, France, Ireland and South Korea. Some 140 papers were discussed across<\/p>\n\n\n\n
28 parallel sessions, and the conference held a job market session for the first<\/p>\n\n\n\n
time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A separate gallery post published by the association on 8 August 2025 gives the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
figure as more than 150. Both are the association's own counts and neither is<\/p>\n\n\n\n
reconciled here; the higher figure is used in this report because it accompanies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the fuller account of the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opening was addressed by the principal of the University of Glasgow, Anton<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muscatelli, the dean of the Adam Smith Business School, Graeme Roy, and the 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CEA president, Mi Zhifu. Editors and board members of several international<\/p>\n\n\n\n
journals presented their titles, and Dong Yizhe, the incoming editor-in-chief of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the association's journal, the Journal of Chinese Economic and Business<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies, set out his plans for it and presented several awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conference established and conferred the association's fellowship for the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
first time. The fellowship is the association's highest honour, recognising<\/p>\n\n\n\n
scholars who have contributed substantially to the association and to research<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on the Chinese economy. The board resolved unanimously to elect 14 scholars to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the inaugural cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A roundtable sponsored by the Bank of China discussed Chinese economic growth and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the internationalisation of the renminbi. The conference dinner was held at the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grosvenor Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CEA board met during the conference, where Mi Zhifu reported on the previous<\/p>\n\n\n\n
year. Among its decisions was the election of Shi Yukun of the University of<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glasgow as the association's 37th president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
