As world leaders and innovators converged at Tianjin's Summer Davos this week, the World Economic Forum (WEF) delivered a mix of hope and caution. WEF President Børge Brende told CGTN host Tian Wei that while tech-driven productivity could revive the global economy, escalating conflicts and trade wars threaten progress. 💼⚡
"We're seeing the most dangerous Middle East tensions in decades," Brende warned, urging diplomacy to prevent broader fallout. Meanwhile, he emphasized that AI, green energy, and digital innovation remain critical to overcoming inflation and supply chain hurdles. 🌱💻
The forum spotlighted Asia's growing economic influence, with young entrepreneurs from the Chinese mainland and beyond showcasing climate tech solutions. But Brende stressed collaboration: "No single nation can fix fragmented trade or geopolitical risks alone." 🤝🌏
For Gen Z and millennials tuning in? The message is clear: Innovation thrives when tensions cool. Let’s see if world leaders take notes. 📈✨
