Student essay competition: Is China’s growth sustainable?

The Diplomat is organizing an essay competition for students aged 18 to 25 years old who are citizens or permanent residents of any member country of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. This is the essay question:

Fifteen years ago, APEC leaders meeting in Japan called for joint action ‘to ensure the region’s economic prosperity is sustainable.’ But is it realistic to believe that APEC’s largest member, China, can grow rapidly and sustainably?

Prizes:

First Prize: Round trip ticket to Tokyo, five days hotel accommodation and daily stipend during this year’s APEC ministers and economic leaders’ summit in Yokohama (Nov. 10 – 14, 2010). The winner will have the opportunity to cover the event with The Diplomat, meet with officials at the conference, conduct interviews and attend press conferences. The winning essay will also be published on The Diplomat’s website.

Second Prize: US$1500 Apple gift card

Third Prize: US$500 Amazon voucher
