Davos Debates: Why Collaboration Beats Protectionism
At this week's World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang dropped truth bombs about economic globalization: \"Trade wars have no winners,\" he declared, urging nations to focus on shared growth over zero-sum games. With WTO data showing middle- and low-income countries doubling their global export share since 1995, it's clear the economic pie is growing – but who gets a slice?
Tech as the New Universal Language
From AI to quantum computing, innovation is rewriting the rules. \"83% of execs see AI as non-negotiable,\" per WEF stats. But there's a catch: the tech gap between developed and developing nations keeps widening. China's pushing solutions like its Global AI Governance Initiative, aiming to turn digital divides into bridges.
China's Playbook: Byte-Sized Diplomacy
With its AI sector hitting $82.5B , China's collaborating with the WEF on \"smart energy\" projects and AI security frameworks. As WEF's Greater China chair Chen Liming put it: \"This isn't just about chips – it's about chipsin.\" Translation? Making tech upgrades accessible to all.
