Beijing, September 21, 2023 - The 9th China and Globalization Forum, a significant event in the Center for China and Globalization's (CCG) 15th-anniversary series, successfully concluded in Beijing. After two years, the forum returned to its offline format, drawing over 200 distinguished guests, including policymakers, diplomats, international organization representatives, experts, scholars, industry leaders, and media from across the globe. The forum provided a platform for robust discussions on pressing international issues, aiming to foster consensus and provide recommendations for China's deepening reform, active participation in globalization, and engagement in global governance.

The forum encompassed an opening ceremony, five thought-provoking roundtable discussions, and a report release session, all centered around key global topics. Topics ranged from climate change challenges facing China, US, and EU in the 21st Century to China-Europe cooperation in uncertain times, China's role in global sustainable economic development, challenges and strategies for Chinese and foreign enterprises, and multilevel cooperation within the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

During the opening ceremony, Mabel Lu Miao, Co-founder and Secretary-General of CCG, introduced the distinguished guests. Wang Huiyao, President of CCG, set the stage by emphasizing the forum's mission to tackle global issues like climate change, the future of global economic development, and major power relations. President Wang, against increasing uncertainties on the global stage, expressed his heartfelt wish for diverse perspectives and active exchanges for collective problem-solving, quoting CCG’s motto, “Global Vision for China, Chinese Wisdom for the World.”

Chen Deming, CCG Honorary Chair and former Minister of Commerce of China, shared insights on global economy and the current status of China-U.S. dialogue mechanisms. He advocated that China should uphold a pro-globalization stance, adhere to multilateralism while considering the interests of all countries, and integrate green concepts into global development and industrial supply chains. He called for enhanced communication and dialogue mechanisms between China and the U.S., emphasizing the need for cooperation in public health, elderly care, aerospace, and more to contribute actively to global development and economic recovery and jointly promote the reform and improvement of the global governance system.

Xie Zhenhua, China's Special Envoy on Climate Change, said in his opening remarks that China is currently engaged in intensive dialogues and negotiations with the U.S. and Europe ahead of the COP28 scheduled to take place in Dubai, the UAE, in November. He revealed that, following the visit of U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Mr. John Kerry to China in July, he and Mr. Kerry had held video conferences almost on a biweekly basis to discuss upcoming meetings and matters related to initiation of climate action working groups, so as to lay a solid foundation for the COP28. Special Envoy Xie Zhenhua highlighted key areas of climate dialogue, including promoting emission reduction and energy transition, focusing on adaptation and loss and damage, strengthening financial, technological, and capacity-building support, and enhancing international cooperation within the framework of the Paris Agreement. He called on all parties to create a favorable political and economic environment for global climate governance and sustain international climate cooperation.

Liu Zhenmin, former Vice Foreign Minister and former Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations, drew upon his extensive international cooperation experience to share his insights and recommendations on climate action. He emphasized the urgent need for countries to swiftly implement the Paris Agreement by actively embracing green transformation and transitioning towards a low-carbon economy. Mr. Liu stressed that climate change is an irreversible reality, making it imperative to prioritize adaptation measures. He called upon nations to make substantial efforts in supporting developing countries in their climate change mitigation endeavors, including financial assistance and the reinforcement of South-South cooperation. Mr. Liu also underscored the crucial role of both intergovernmental and market-driven cooperation in effectively addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

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.
