The Boyuan Foundation is a Chinese think tank created in 2007 with the ambition to promote political and economic liberal reforms in China. In 2012, a prominent Beijing-based western journalist wrote that the "Boyuan Foundation exists almost entirely under the radar but may well be the most ambitious, radical and consequential independent panel of advisers in China."[1] In 2014, at a time when it was already paring down its operations, it was described by The Economist as "closely connected to the families of some top leaders and to elite players in the financial system".[2] It has had little if any observable activity in subsequent years.
Overview
The Boyuan Foundation was established in 2007 by He Di, former chairman of UBS China, and Qin Xiao, former chairman of China Merchants Group and China Merchants Bank. Individuals who have worked for the foundation as researchers and/or published authors have included Ding Xueliang, Lou Jiwei,[3] and Xu Jilin.[4] By 2013, its board members included Wang Jianxi,[5] Gao Xiqing, and Brent Scowcroft. These and other high-level connections have been reported as providing the foundation some political cover despite its political misalignment from the Chinese Communist Party.[3]
The Boyuan Foundation's flagship event, the Chinese Economic Forum, was held in Beijing for several years, then in 2014-2016 in New York in apparent partnership with Peking University.[6][7][8]
