Beijing Hosts High-Level Forum.

Global CEOs from Apple, Pfizer, and Blackstone gathered in Beijing this week for the annual China Development Forum. Premier Li Qiang addressed the assembly, emphasizing new quality productive forces and signaling a shift toward high-tech manufacturing to offset the property market slowdown. The forum is a critical bellwether for foreign direct investment (FDI) sentiment as China navigates a lower-for-longer growth trajectory and heightening trade tensions with the EU.
