A glimpse of the meeting
At the forum, Secretary Li Qingquan used statistics to show the notable outcomes created by private enterprises in Shenzhen. He also shared, in light of the reality of Shenzhen’s development, the experience of Shenzhen in maintaining the driving forces of science and technology innovation and boosting the competitiveness of the national economy from Huawei, a global leader in the 5G mobile communication technologies, and DJI, the world's leading developer and manufacturer of drone solutions. Both are representative enterprises of China's national economy.

Director Tao Yitao illustrated the development and future of economic globalization in terms of "the indispensable requirements" and “the disruptive forces” of economic globalization. She suggested that peace, openness, connectivity, inclusiveness and diversity, and development and justice are indispensable requirements for economic globalization. The smooth progress of economic globalization should be guaranteed by a set of fair and efficient governance system and advanced infrastructure. The imperfect global governance system gradually formed by the international community has hit a strong headwind in recent years. As a result, economic globalization has been hit considerably hard by mutually reinforcing disruptive factors. The aforementioned five requirements of economic globalization have been impaired to varying extents.
Director Tao Yitao delivers a speech
Prof. Liu Weili delivered her speech from three aspects: "The Origin and Evolution of Economic Globalization", "The Dilemma of Economic Globalization", and "The Future Development of Economic Globalization". She introduced the World Bank Group's "Business Enabling Environment (BEE)" project, and believed that although the progress of economic globalization has slowed down and even been reversed given the impacts of the epidemic, it is difficult to find a self-sufficient economy due to the close ties between countries. This predicament can be contained and changed in the long run.
Prof. Liu Weili
The lectures of three professors were highly evaluated and recognized by Russian scholars. This exchange was expected to share Chinese wisdom and promote the joint development of Russia and China.
