Chinese officials will be on a charm offensive to woo foreign investors, as the coastal city of Dalian gets ready to host the World Economic Forum's second largest annual gathering. Otherwise known as the Summer Davos, about 1,600 local and international participants from business, government, civil society and academia are expected to attend. How has the role of the meeting evolved over the years? Olivia Siong reports from Dalian.

The participants must be persuaded to give the developing democracies like the Philippines and India a try.

New bridge equals more travels to Malaysia to consume. And Microsoft made a right choice to put their AI development in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Seriously, to gain some confidence back from investors, the Chinese government needs to *stop its lies.*

[johnny-ihes]

Not- for- profit businesses will not come.

If one is as smart an investor as Warren Buffet, then invest when others are fearful….

Chinese economic forum, they looked so bad already. No one will go to that forum except Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Iran, Russia & African countries. He haw!

🤣🤣🤣Sure whatever you believed. WEF is a joke. IE WEF running out of money Liao🤣🤣🤣

"image of open China". Joke of the day. "open" + "China" does not belong to the same sentence

Not likely. No matter what Chinese private firms do, the actions of the Chinese government dictate the investment environment. The economic limits of typical autocratic governments has been hit. When the government dictates which businesses prosper, survive or die, it is time to look elsewhere.
