Theme: BRI and the New World Order in a Paradoxical World

This world has been undergoing at a multilevel fundamental change with four major pairs of paradoxical forces

sustainable development vision v.s. unsustainable economic development;
integration and equality vision v.s. the emergence of populism and nationalism;
openness and globalization vision v.s. protectionism and trade conflicts;
technology progress and embracement of AI v.s. technology infringement among firms and countries

Though the United Nations has provided an ideological forces of 17 Sustainable Development Goals to guide human being’s activities from economic, business, political, educational perspectives throughout these paradoxes, how shall we call and lead the world into a thoughtful and sustainable path, and in particular how shall we integrate our world into a true one, positively fulfilling example Swiss-Sino Relationship and European-Sino relationship?
