The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 concluded today in Davos, Switzerland, with China's economic strategies emerging as a central theme. Amid global economic uncertainties, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng outlined Beijing's commitment to fostering international cooperation through expanded trade and market access, drawing significant interest from policymakers and business leaders.
He emphasized China's dual ambition to remain a manufacturing powerhouse while evolving into a global consumption hub, stating: "We aim to leverage our vast market to strengthen industrial partnerships and share opportunities." His remarks align with China's 2026 economic agenda, which prioritizes import growth and technological collaboration to stabilize supply chains.
Analysts note that China's participation comes as developing nations increasingly seek alternatives to traditional economic models. The forum saw preliminary agreements signed between Chinese firms and European counterparts in renewable energy and AI sectors, signaling concrete steps toward multilateral cooperation.
