Martina Gottwald-Belinic

Ms. Gottwald-Belinic holds a Ph.D. in economics from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. Her research focuses on how new digital technologies can be applied and absorbed by economies with an emphasis on contemporary China. Her main field is organized around the influence of new trends, assessing the impact of these trends on future labour productivity development, urbanization, social values and lifestyles. Ms. Gottwald-Belinic holds diverse academic seminars with a focus on transition development in East Asia, especially on the remarkably successful development of the so-called “Chinese Model” of economic transition. Her current research relates to the structural transformation and role of Chinese economic and institutional activities in Central and Eastern European States (CEES). This research is being carried out with special focus on the perception, influence, and interaction of Chinese investment activities labelled as “soft financing” strategies, as well as on the importance of the integrated and homogeneous approaches of all EU members towards their relationships with China.
