About
Eric X. Li is a venture capitalist and political scientist who is challenging the universality of Western democratic systems.
As a leading voice on the future of global governance, Li argues that China's model will increasingly 'morally challenge' the predominance of liberal democracy. With a deep understanding of entrepreneurship, venture capital, and private equity, Li provides a counterpoint to the Western-centric view of economic and political development.
His talks offer a nuanced, data-driven perspective on the shifting balance of power between East and West.

A tale of two political systems
It's a standard assumption in the West: As a society progresses, it eventually becomes a capitalist, multi-party democracy. Right? Eric X. Li, a Chinese investor and political scientist, begs to differ. In this provocative, boundary-pushing talk, he asks his audience to consider that there's more than one way to run a successful modern nation.
