讲座内容简介 (Abstract)：
This lecture starts with discussing why global ideas are spreading around the world and discusses the need for symbols, instrumental solutions and changes in culture. It then continues with discussing, according to these categories, what China more generally is imitating from the West, followed by examples of more specific reform measures imitated. It also digs into the distinction between imitating NPM and post-NPM reforms elements and gives examples of those. Finally, the effects of imitating and eventually learning from the West are discussed.
