The 2025 Summer Davos Forum opened in Tianjin this week, bringing together global leaders to discuss economic cooperation and technological innovation. As over 1,500 delegates from 100+ countries and regions gather, China's evolving role in shaping global development strategies takes center stage.
Shahamak Rezaei, a Denmark-based globalization expert, told KhabarAsia: "China's transformation from imitation economy to R&D powerhouse marks a historic shift. Their ability to attract top international talent and invest in next-gen technologies positions them as a critical innovation hub."
The forum highlights China's dual strategy of maintaining manufacturing strengths while pioneering AI, quantum computing, and green energy solutions. Rezaei emphasized: "Beijing's continued commitment to trade liberalization demonstrates their understanding that global collaboration fuels progress – a message resonating strongly here."
Business analysts note the event serves as both networking platform and indicator of Asia's growing influence in setting global tech standards. With 40% of scheduled sessions focusing on AI governance and sustainable development, participants are particularly watching China's proposals for balancing innovation with ethical frameworks.
