China's path forward highlighted ahead of 2023 SDG Summit


BEIJING, 15 September – The United Nations (UN) in China and the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) cohosted a seminar yesterday at the CCG Headquarters in Beijing titled “Accelerating progress towards the 2030 Agenda: China’s Progress, Challenges, and Path Forward”.

The seminar was organized ahead of the upcoming 2023 SDG Summit taking place on 18-19 September 2023 in New York, with the aim to galvanize local momentum in China and mark the beginning of a new phase of accelerated progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Against the background of exacerbating global challenges and at the midpoint of the 2030 deadline for achieving the SDGs, the event sought to provide a platform for discussions on China’s progress and challenges and to establish a roadmap for the future. The outcomes of the discussions at the seminar will be transmitted to UN Headquarters as an informal input to the 2023 SDG Summit.
During his remarks at the seminar, UN Resident Coordinator Siddharth Chatterjee said, “The UN family has a Cooperation Framework with China, to ensure that around its three pillars of People and Prosperity, Planet and Partnerships, we do everything possible to make sure the country can be a best-in-class exemplar in the achievement of the SDGs. At the same time, we use our knowledge to push for more South-South cooperation and North-South collaboration. Ultimately, it is about resurrecting the spirit of multilateralism.”

In the context of the upcoming SDG Summit, the seminar sought to identify the key transformative actions and commitments that China could take and the need to fully align these efforts with the SDGs.
During his remarks at the seminar, Dr. Henry Huiyao Wang, President of CCG, said, “Due to the multiple interacting crises, climate change, poverty, inequality, and conflicts, the world is facing a critical moment to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs. China will promote the 2030 Agenda from three aspects: promoting sustainable development of the world economy, advancing the policy of common prosperity, and promoting global infrastructure cooperation. As a loyal supporter and champion of multilateralism, China will support the General Assembly in promoting multilateralism and international cooperation and effectively addressing our global threats and challenges guided by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. I express the hope that participants will contribute their own insights to the upcoming 2023 SDG Summit on 18-19 September 2023.”

China is willing to expand the resources put in global development collaboration, work hand in hand with global partners, and provide steadfast support to all developing countries to accelerate their development progress, so as to realize the Global Development Initiative and the United Nations 2030 SDG agenda, to leave no nation and no one behind."

More Information

The internationalization of Chinese enterprises is one of the most notable aspects of economic globalization in the 21st century. Despite the 2008 financial crisis and weak global outbound investment, under the “go global“ initiative, Chinese outbound investment has gone from strength to strength, while also diversifying in terms of investment modalities, destinations, and industries. However, growing anti-globalization sentiment in some countries has also created new challenges for Chinese firms expanding internationally.


Drawing on nearly 3000 data samples, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, this book presents unique insights into the features and patterns of Chinese enterprises’ globalization. The analysis provides a useful reference for enterprises that have already gone global and those that plan to. In particular, this book investigates challenges confronted by Chinese companies when doing business in foreign countries. It summarizes research covering three angles, namely: the current situation, causation analysis and corresponding solutions, and recommendations for firms, government agencies and other institutions.


This book provides a comprehensive overview to help readers to grasp the broad picture of the international expansion of Chinese enterprises. It has important reference value for enterprises to help devise foreign investment strategy, seize opportunities, and navigate challenges in the course of globalization.

More Information

This book offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date assessment of China’s domestic and international migration. Restructuring economic development requires large numbers of educated and skilled talents, but this effort comes at a time when the size of China’s domestic workforce is shrinking. In response, both national and regional governments in China have been keen to encourage overseas Chinese talents and professionals to return to the country. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has initiated a number of policies to attract international highly-skilled talents and enhance the country’s competitiveness, and some Chinese policies have started attracting foreign talents, who are coming to the country to work, and even to stay. Since Chinese policies, mechanisms, and administration efforts to attract and retain skilled domestic or overseas talents are helping to reshape China’s economy and are significantly affecting the cooperation on migration and talent mobility, these aspects, in addition to being of scholarly and research interest, hold considerable commercial potential.
