On November 2, inside the School of Economics building room 714 of Fudan University, Korean and Chinese graduate students held the Shanghai Economic Forum under the theme “2012 Economic Integration of East Asia and China-Korea FTA.”

As Shanghai is the center of China’s economy, Shaghai Fudan University’s School of Economics holds the best reputation within China in the field of economics and it provides outstanding level of advisory and consulting on the global economy as to be recognized as the Chicago School of Economics.

At the Fudan University located in Fushou, Shanghai, 50 students from the Graduate School of China, Sungkyunkwan University (GSC SKKU) and School of Economics, Fudan University, as well as 6 professors participated in the forum and discussion (Panel: Ho Jae Lee, Chairman of SKKU GSC, Chi Huisheng, Vice President of the academic committee of Peking University, Lei Shi, Ex-Director of China Center for Economic Studies of Fudan University) about the China-Korea FTA, a rising hot issue. 

This forum holds great meaning in that sensitive subjects like finance, steel, intellectual property, which were discussed in the 4th round of Korea-China FTA Talks, were discussed equally in this forum.

This annual forum together with Fudan University students have been held for the third time this year. SKKU GSC students’ Chinese presentations and debate skills were highly evaluated in comparison to Fudan University students.

The host of this forum, Ho Jae Lee, Chairman of SKKU GSC, said that bringing together future leaders of both nations in efforts to share opinions and find a solution to the Korea-China FTA is a great step for mutual economic growth.
