Hu An’gang 胡鞍钢 b.1953

Hu Angang is a Tsinghua University-affiliated economist who is regarded as a leading figure in what could be translated as ‘China National Exceptionalism Studies’. As an economist who spends much of his time concocting forecasts of China’s future, Hu is noted for his consistent optimism about the country’s socioeconomic transformation and historic reemergence as a world power. Since at least early 1990s, he has been touting the idea that China will eventually ascend to the status of superpower on par with the US.
