At the recent Global Digital Trade Expo in Hangzhou, experts tackled a pressing question: Is protectionism stifling the world's data-driven economy? Mira Burri, a Swiss law professor specializing in digital trade, warned that geopolitical rivalries risk fragmenting innovation.
Speaking at the Forum on the Rule of Law in Global Digital Trade, Burri compared today's digital economy to a 'tightrope walk' – balancing cutting-edge growth with fair competition. 'Trade laws aren't just paperwork,' she told CGTN. 'They're the guardrails keeping global collaboration alive.'
The Hangzhou forum, hosted in China's tech hub, highlighted how nations can navigate this digital gold rush without building walls. With AI and big data reshaping industries, Burri's message resonates: Cross-border teamwork might just be the ultimate cheat code for progress.
