A privileged opportunity for a stimulating exchange of insights and analyses, the FCGF will see around 500 senior executives, government officials and renowned academia exchange views on China’s hot-button issues. These issues range from growth drivers of new economy, ’One Belt One Road’ financing, omnipresent Chinese consumerism, smart manufacturing, next generation vehicles to many more dynamic topics close to the hearts of business communities.

Chairman of Business China, Mr Lee Yi Shyan said, “Since its inception in 2007, Business China has served as a platform to study China’s rapid rise as an economic power. Recent events such as the Brexit, French presidential election, Trump’s meeting with President Xi, the OBOR Forum held in Beijing, are but part of the many moving pieces of a complex and dynamic picture shaping a new world order. Are we heading for more cooperation or conflicts? What do they all mean for our businesses and our future? These are but some of the pertinent questions we seek to address in FCGF 2017. We have gathered many top minds, decision-makers and business leaders in one forum to help make sense of the complex world we operate in. We invite all who are interested in our discussions to join us at this important forum.”
