China and India have more than 38 percent of the world’s population. In 2003 Goldman Sachs predicted that the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) would be wealthier than most of the current major economic powers by 2050. Professor French’s presentation will explore the similarities and differences between China and India and explore the future challenges facing both countries.
Richard French was vice-chairman of the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission until July 2007. Prior to his work at the CRTC, he had a distinguished career in both the public and private sectors. Holding a D.Phil. from Oxford University, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar, he taught at McGill University before entering provincial politics in Quebec, where he served as Minister of Communications.
Upon leaving public life, he held several senior executive positions in the private sector, including vice-president of Bell Canada and CEO of Tata Communications, a mobile communications firm located in Andhra Pradesh, India.
