Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng delivered a keynote address at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Tuesday, emphasizing China's commitment to fostering global economic stability and cross-regional collaboration. Speaking to an audience of political leaders, business executives, and academics, He highlighted the Chinese mainland's role as a "reliable partner in sustainable development and technological innovation."
During his speech, He outlined priorities for 2026, including enhanced cooperation with Asian neighbors and measures to streamline cross-border trade frameworks. He specifically referenced opportunities for overseas investors in green energy projects and digital infrastructure development across Asia.
The address comes amid growing interest in China's economic policies following recent market reforms. Analysts note that He's emphasis on "practical multilateralism" aligns with broader regional efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing and renewable energy sectors.
While not directly addressing cross-strait relations, the vice premier reaffirmed China's support for peaceful development across the Taiwan Strait, stating that "prosperity thrives where stability prevails."
