China and Davos always meet at critical moments.
This is the first appearance of a Chinese head of state in Davos.
The founder of the World Economic Forum, Schwab, boarded the train to welcome him.
During this period, protectionism and isolationism were on the rise worldwide, and there was a struggle for survival and abolition in economic globalization.
Standing at the height of philosophy and history, President Xi Jinping profoundly discussed how to treat economic globalization dialectically, pointed out the direction, and opened the pulse. He also vividly used Chinese practice to say, "We learned to swim in swimming".
This speech, delivered in a skiing town in the Alps, caused a sensation throughout the world. Years later, this speech was still frequently mentioned by international politicians and economic figures from various countries. Schwab said that this speech is a highlight in the history of the World Economic Forum.
After the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, the world economy fell into a deep recession, increasing confusion and problems.
Meeting is not so easy during the epidemic. At this moment, the steadfast communication and the light of wisdom are particularly warm.
Davos was originally a place name. Nowadays, "Davos" has become a platform, a scene, and an atmosphere for regular gathering and communication in the global economic community. This is very similar to Zhongguancun in Beijing. Zhongguancun was originally just a street in Haidian, Beijing. Nowadays, "Zhongguancun" is no longer limited to this place. In the meaning of technological innovation and economic development, it has expanded to a set of policies, a platform, and an exploration.
The cooperation between China and the World Economic Forum is almost synchronous with China's reform and opening up process. In 1979, China and Davos had their initial intersection. Since 2007, the World Economic Forum has stepped out of the ski town and started holding the Summer Davos Forum alternately in Dalian and Tianjin, China.
Davos is widely welcomed by the global economic community because it emphasizes equal communication, promotes dialogue among all parties, faces practical difficulties, and maintains a forward-looking perspective. The inherent temperament of the Davos Forum resonates to a considerable extent with China's firm promotion of economic globalization and efforts to promote win-win cooperation.
Or rather, China's sustained and deep participation has further enhanced the quality and influence of Davos.
China promotes exchanges with great perseverance and a set of principles. During the epidemic, it is not convenient to sit down and have a centralized meeting. Chinese authorities have boldly innovated with the World Economic Forum and established the "Walking Davos" series of activities, organizing multinational enterprise leaders to conduct on-site research and exchange ideas in various parts of China. In recent years, I have traveled to Zhejiang, Sichuan, Liaoning, Tianjin, Yunnan, Beijing, Hainan and other places.
Davos, walking up, has a unique flavor.
Organizing meetings is a means, not an end; Communication is a process, not a result. This year's Summer Davos Forum has successfully concluded in Tianjin. This is another crucial moment of meeting. The COVID-19 is still lingering around the world, with unilateralism, protectionism and anti globalization spreading, and the world economy continues to bear tremendous downward pressure. The new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is also deepening, and the expectation of innovative development and win-win cooperation is even stronger.
The brief 14th Summer Davos Forum, as hot as the weather in northern China in recent days. This annual meeting focuses particularly on the spirit of entrepreneurship, which is essentially still exploring the path to global economic recovery, reflecting the firm pursuit of leading the world economy towards a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future.
In Tianjin, attendees from all over the world had a thorough conversation and also had a firsthand experience of China's economy, which is currently overcoming difficulties and steadily recovering. For many years, the world economy has been plagued by uncertainty. Although the Chinese economy has also climbed over obstacles under pressure, it has always demonstrated a resilient "certainty". No matter how complex the epidemic may be or how much interference economic globalization may cause, China has always been on the path of promoting cooperation and win-win opening up.
At critical moments, what we see is the key proposition, and what we strive for is the key action. China, which has met Davos, has a firm belief, systematic proposition, and pragmatic approach.
Always meeting because we know each other. China has developed itself in the process of economic globalization and has become the most steadfast force in maintaining economic globalization.
