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.

In a recently-released survey gauging the influence of Chinese think tanks, CCG was ranked as the 3rd most influential non-governmental, independent think tank in China. This ranking shows CCG has made big strides in fulfilling its goal of being “international, influential, and constructive.” In order to further enhance its stature, CCG has launched the Dialogue Luncheon in 2015 as a regular event for key figures in the government, highly regarded academic experts, and business elites to exchange their views and ideas regarding China and globalization.

Mr. Long Yongtu, the chairman of CCG Strategic Council and former vice minister of MOFCOM, spoke highly of the partnership between CCG and Yintai Tower, which will host this monthly event.

He also encouraged CCG to provide valuable advice to policymaking and increase its footprint in domestic Chinese and international academic circles, the media and public in order to help build up China’s soft power.
