Global CEOs and business moguls are doubling down on China's economic potential, pledging to ramp up research and investment at the recently concluded China Development Forum 2025 in Beijing. Let's unpack why this tech-savvy, innovation-driven market has everyone buzzing! 🚀
From March 23-24, 86 top delegates from 21 countries gathered under the banner 'Unleashing Development Momentum for Stable Growth of Global Economy'. Think of it as Coachella for econ nerds – but with more spreadsheets and fewer flower crowns. 💼📊
