First 2015 CCG Dialogue Luncheon Discusses China Globalization Outlook
The first CCG Dialogue Luncheon in 2015 was held on Jan. 19th at Beijing Yintai Tower and took as its main theme, “China Globalization Outlook for 2015.” Over 40 CCG senior members and advisors, prominent scholars, and media partners attended the luncheon to participate in a lively and informative discussion around China and globalization during 2015. Specific topics reviewed in the luncheon included, “How can China be Further Integrated into the Globalized World Economic Order?” “How Can Chinese Enterprises Grasp the Opportunities Created by the ‘One-Belt, One-Road’ policy?” and “How to best Explore the fresh Development Opportunities in the Chinese Economy’s ‘New Normal?'” Participants also shared perspectives from a number of key industries on China and globalization and proposed new topics and directions for future CCG research.
