The World Economic Forum (WEF) is to hold its 14th “New Champions” meeting in Tianjin, China.
The event has been called a “Summer Davos.”
In June, the WEF “will gather over 1,500 global leaders from business, government, civil society, international organizations as well as from among innovators and academics, at a crucial time for the global economic recovery,” according to a statement.
“The theme of the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2023 is ‘Entrepreneurship: The Driving Force of the Global Economy,'” the statement continues.
Reporting from Breitbart:
This is not the first time the WEF has warmly embraced China with the eastern city of Tianjin being the previous site for the forum. In 2018 Chinese Premier Li Keqiang used the occasion to rail against “unilateralism” in a veiled allusion to the trade fight with the United States, and hinted at further opening of the world’s second largest economy before singling out the U.S. economy for special attention.
