Prof. Sili Zhou
Chat Lounge
On September 26, 2025, University of Macau’s Prof. Sili Zhou joined CGTN’s Chat Lounge for an in-depth discussion on China-US commercial relations. Prof. Zhou, an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Associate Team Leader of the Macao Economy team at APAEM, provided expert analysis on the shifting global economic landscape.
Prof. Zhou pointed out that deglobalization trends in the U.S. are generating new opportunities for major Asian financial hubs. Specifically, Prof. Zhou noted that structural shifts in the American financial system are creating favorable conditions for China and other emerging markets to strengthen the Renminbi’s cross-border payment network. He suggested this momentum could even empower the BRICS coalition to pioneer a next-generation international monetary system, a potential “Bretton Woods 3.0.” The conversation also covered the real-world impact of Washington’s current policies on U.S. corporations and their subsequent ripple effects across the global economy.
Where is U.S. business headed, and what does it mean for China?
Host TU Yun joins Harvey Dzodin, Senior Fellow, Center for China and Globalization, David Blair, Senior Economist, Alliance of Global Talent Organizations, and Alex Sili Zhou, Associate Professor of Economics and Finance, University of Macau to dig into the closed-door frustrations of American CEOs, explore the global ripple effects, and ask what it all means for U.S.–China business ties.
