I noticed in President Xi's speech words like "innovation" and "growth" are mentioned frequently. President Xi has great expectations for Chinese business circles, which cheers us up a lot. The most important subject under discussion at the summit is to realize the innovative pattern of growth.

I think new technology is always the main motivation of economic development. The technical innovation and IT technical revolution have great power to drive economic growth. The Chinese economy is in the key stage of transformation and innovation. We expect to contribute our wisdom to Chinese and world economic growth.
