Wang Huiyao, founder and president of the Center for China and Globalization and former counselor to the State Council, emphasized the importance of presenting diverse perspectives on China's economy during a lunch dialogue in Beijing on Monday.

He stressed that since many people have said the Chinese economy is flat, with the bubble bursting, it's important to show the world and the people different views about how China is doing when the world has entered a period with tremendous changes and transformations.

Wang outlined China's development efforts, citing its success in poverty alleviation and its shift from a manufacturing hub to an innovation center. He noted the country's progress in infrastructure, talent cultivation, and the green economy, which he said positions the country for closer global collaboration.

Pan Qingzhong, executive dean of the Schwarzman Scholars program at Tsinghua University, was one of the three panelists at the event. He said that the program, which began in 2013, has attracted over 1,200 students from 126 countries, with 80 percent coming from abroad.

Pan said the program aims to cultivate future leaders and foster mutual understanding among young people worldwide to enhance global cooperation and development.

Xu Jiajun, a tenured associate professor at Peking University, discussed her team's work on a global database of public banks. She emphasized the role of public banks in national capacity building and structural transformation, noting that China's experience demonstrates the importance of sustainable and fair structural transformation for poverty alleviation.

Tong Lihua, director of the Beijing Children's Legal Aid and Research Center, highlighted China's progress in child protection laws. However, he pointed out new challenges arising from the digital economy and AI technology.

Tong called for international cooperation and concrete policy implementations to address these issues.

The event was attended by ambassadors from nine countries, including Barbados, Japan and Kenya, as well as senior diplomats from countries like Croatia, Egypt and Estonia. Representatives from domestic and international companies and organizations also participated, according to a CCG release on Tuesday.
