Randy W Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 No Xi this year - he's got other things to attend to. Cancelled appearances, high-profile absences, TV blackout: has China’s answer to Davos lost its sheen?President Xi Jinping is in Europe, while other key officials are in Beijing for the trade talks with the USVarious discussions have been switched to closed-door events without explanation, with fewer high profile speakers taking the stage Over the years, China has stepped up its effort to put the forum on the world map. Its board now boasts former officials and business leaders from Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, Italy, Russia and India. But the four-day event is still dogged by the lingering question of whether it is international enough. China’s tendency to let heavy-handed bureaucracy dominate makes it challenging to construct a programme wholly focused on commerce and business. . . . Du Renjie, a tech entrepreneur from Hebei Province, said that it was hard for the Boao programme to be stay completely neutral, and away from Chinese influence. “I am here to hear from economists and officials. On the record speech is one thing, but how they interact with each other also matters,” said Du. “Networking is not my purpose of being here.” Link to comment
amberjack1234 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 China will not pull the stops out at any level to become the worlds dominate leader. But will they contribute positively and fairly in dealing with the problems of the world if they achieve that level? I don't think that the CCP will ever be able to do that. Link to comment
Allon Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I think China is already one of the world's dominant leaders and wants to be ahead of the US at least in GNP. and may well do it and soon. How many more aircraft carriers and missiles and other military ware will they be manufacturing is the question. The military is always the last resort in a conflict but you have no leverage without it. So far, China can only bully the "small" countries -- VIetnam (although they better be careful there), Philippines, Japan, Taiwan..... I think they will emerge a major player in the development of the world, if we can get them off a course of selfishness. They have done very well, but they cannot catch up to even their own success when they will not have the workers they had in today's time. The one child policy will hurt them more than I think they realize. I just wish all of could sit down at the dinner table and eat in peace. Link to comment

In the post-COVID19 era, this is the first international forum comprising mostly offline conferences this year. from China Pictorial on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ChinaPic/photos/a.558235270968533/3706254202833275/?type=3 Quote Boao Forum The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) is necessary to bring all Asia together, as one cohesive unit for the betterment of humanity, Andrew Forrest, chairman of Australia's iron ore giant Fortescue Metals Group, has said. Forrest, also a member of the BFA Council of Advisory, made the remarks before this year's annual BFA conference, which takes place on April 18 to 21 in the coastal town of Boao in China's southernmost Hainan Province and celebrate its 20th anniversary. As one of the world's largest iron ore producers, Fortescue witnessed the fast growth of China and the Asia-Pacific region, which prompted its 13-year cooperation with BFA. This year Fortescue became a strategic sponsor for the BFA. "I believed over 30 years ago that China had an enormous future, that the era of China had begun. And so I'm really delighted now to have created a company, which was here to serve that new era of China," Forrest said. #Boao Boao Forum for Asia Edited April 19, 2021 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment

Randy W Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Remarks seen as confirmation that China will stick to stance of not criticising Russian invasion of Ukraine. Perhaps China can convince Ukraine to just fire their weapons into the ground, so that Russia can flatten their country more easily. from AL Jazeera English on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/7382473689/posts/10160732407443690/ China’s Xi says talks, not sanctions, should resolve disputes Remarks seen as confirmation that China will stick to stance of not criticising Russian invasion of Ukraine. Chinese President Xi Jinping delivers speech at the Boao Forum for Asia via video link on April 21, 2022 [Kevin Yao/Reuters] Quote China has so far resisted international pressure to impose punitive measures on its close ally or refer to Moscow’s actions in Ukraine as an “invasion,” and has instead said it would push for peace in its “own way.” China’s state-controlled media has sought to portray the US as the villain, and also amplified Russian disinformation about the war. Xi also told the forum that Beijing remains committed to “respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries” as well as the principle of non-interference in their internal affairs. China has long faced criticism over its controversial policies towards its far western region of Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and in Tibet, which it annexed in 1949. The Chinese leader went on to make thinly-veiled references to US-led security blocs like NATO, and the more recent Quad and AUKUS, saying that “attempts to forge small circles or to stir conflict and confrontation along ideological lines” are “doomed to fail”.
