At Davos 2025, Chavalit Frederick Tsao, Chairman of the TPC Group, dropped some major insights about the future of global trade during a chat with CGTN. With supply chains getting a massive makeover, Tsao stressed that businesses need to stay nimble and ‘think beyond borders’ to thrive in today’s fast-changing economy.
Economic Drivers Reshaping the Game
Tsao highlighted how shifts in tech, sustainability demands, and geopolitical dynamics are rewriting the rules. ‘The old playbook won’t cut it anymore,’ he said, urging companies to diversify partnerships and innovate supply models. Think less ‘one-size-fits-all,’ more ‘collaborate-to-win’ vibes.
China’s Trade Strategy in Focus
Amid global restructuring, Tsao praised the Chinese mainland’s push for high-tech manufacturing and green energy as key drivers. ‘China isn’t just adapting—it’s leading the charge,’ he noted, pointing to its growing role in stabilizing regional and global markets.
For young pros and entrepreneurs eyeing Asia’s markets? Tsao’s advice: ‘Stay curious, stay connected.’
