[UPDATED] Pre-register for the 9th China and Globalization Forum: An Exclusive Opportunity Awaits
RSVP to join highly-esteemed government figures, experts, and business leaders in addressing global issues and commemorating 15 years of CCG.
Dear CCG associates,
We are pleased to extend a unique opportunity for your participation in the 9th edition of China and Globalization Forum to be held offline at CBD, Beijing on Thursday, September 21. To secure your spot at this event, please confirm your attendance by signing up for a complimentary ticket.
Since 2015, CCG has hosted the China and Globalization Forum annually in conjunction with its council meeting, bringing together the most prominent members of CCG Advisory Council – including its honorary chair (Chen Demin, former commerce minister), chair (Long Yongtu, former vice commerce minister) and co-chairs (He Yafei, former vice foreign minister and Ronni Chan, Chairman of Hang Lung Properties), and celebrated policy scholars and business leaders. Over the years, the convention has become a magnet for the most highly regarded delegates from China’s government, expert, and business communities for dialogue and debate about the most pressing issues in global politics and business regarding the development of globalization and China’s role in it.
In 2023, CCG celebrates its 15th anniversary amidst a backdrop of significant events. China is recovering from three years of isolation due to the zero-covid policy, while the global economy grapples with the lingering impacts of the pandemic; there is a prolonged war in Ukraine, the pressing challenge of climate change, and rapidly shifting macroeconomic conditions worldwide. Whereas threats to globalization are real and statements about globalization’s demise abound, linkages between economies, societies and cultures remain resilient. With today’s turbulent environment of geopolitical tensions, however, concerns about the call for “de-risking” fracturing the world economy into rival blocs persist. Amid challenges ranging from deteriorating relations with the west to a declining population and a slowing economy, what’s next for China and globalization going forward?
When: Thursday, 21st of September, 2023
Where: CBD Beijing
Language: English/Chinese simultaneous interpretation
Media Plan: On-the-record
