China’s emerging wealth is not a new subject matter to many, China now has 568 billionaires versus the United States’ 535, giving it the largest population of billionaires in the world. The real question is what are the trends shaping China’s “new normal” phase of development and how these create and define the opportunities for the emergence and influence of wealth in China. Join the British Chamber’s Property & Infrastructure forum to discuss the trends of China’s High Net worth and the future Wealth forecast.

Nicholas Holt will present Knight Frank’s 11th Wealth Report (Knight Frank Wealth Report) which provides a deep insight into investment strategies in the global residential and commercial property markets.
