At the Summer Davos forum in Dalian, Chinese Premier Li Qiang delivered a bold message: the world must unite to tackle economic challenges like trade protectionism and unlock new growth opportunities for all. 🌍✨
Zero-Sum Games? Not Anymore
Li stressed the need to move beyond “zero-sum” competition, urging nations to collaborate for shared prosperity. “Building ‘small yards with high fences’ won’t stop others—it just limits your own potential,” he said, criticizing isolationist policies. 🤝
Innovation as the New Currency
The premier highlighted China’s push for tech innovation, noting over 400,000 high-tech firms and 100,000 specialized SMEs driving progress. 🚀 He emphasized creating fair, nondiscriminatory environments for R&D and letting markets lead resource allocation. “Governments must foster the right conditions for innovation,” Li added.
Why This Matters for Gen Z
With global markets at a crossroads, Li’s call for collaboration—and China’s tech-driven growth—could shape job markets, startup ecosystems, and cross-border partnerships. For travelers and entrepreneurs alike, Dalian’s spotlight at Summer Davos signals Asia’s rising influence. 📈
