On November 4, AmCham Shanghai's Logistics and Transportation (L&T) Committee hosted a luncheon event at the Four Seasons Hotel covering the recent Economist Intelligence Unit's six-month report card on China's stimulus package. Pilar Dieter, Director at Alaris Consulting and Chair of the L&T Committee, opened the event by briefly describing the stimulus package and some of the primary concerns surrounding it, including the question of the actual value of the stimulus, whether it will create overcapacity, and the need for a greater emphasis on boosting domestic demand. Dieter then introduced Wu Chen, author of the Economist Intelligence Unit's six-month report card on China’s stimulus package.
