Description: In China, the middle and upper classes aspire to greater participation in the management of public affairs.
This phenomenon is widely reported in the media and has increasingly crystallized around questions of taxation.
Combing economic and legal knowledge with a sociological perspective, the seminar first dealt with China's overarching tax problem— meaning the connection between the country's center and the provinces—and then with the issue of reforming the taxation of China's newly affluent classes.
