On September 5, 2024, nearly 200 business leaders of Finance EMBA 2024 from around the world gathered at Tsinghua University to explore the development of new quality productivity with outstanding leadership and forward-looking vision, and jointly draw a new blueprint for global economic cooperation under the Belt & Road Initiative.

At present, China's automobile industry is entering a fast lane of vigorous development, actively nurturing and accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity. I firmly believe that technological innovation is not only an indispensable cornerstone in this process, but also the main engine that leads the automotive industry to continue leaping forward. This time I have come to study at Tsinghua PBCSF, a palace of both scholarship and wisdom, and I am full of expectations, aiming to further refine and improve myself through comprehensive and systematic study, so that the entrepreneurial spirit will shine more brightly. I am eager to work hand in hand with my colleagues in the industry to create a new era for China's automotive industry.

With the rise of young consumer groups, China's beauty brands have grown rapidly, and this process has reshaped the competitive landscape and future outlook of the entire industry. As witnesses of the development of the local beauty industry from 0 to 1, we are pleasantly surprised to see that the labels of domestic products has been redefined. Chinese beauty companies have shouldered the mission of Chinese brands to go global, and finally tore off the image of "cheap and inferior" with unremitting efforts, so that the world can witness true "Chinese quality". We look forward to working with more Chinese national brands in the future to spread China's voice to the world, tell convincing Chinese stories, and write a new chapter for Chinese brands to shine on the international stage.

Safeguard the world's health with scientific and technological innovation

New student of BRI EMBA Cohort 6

Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of CanSino Biologics

As an innovator in the field of vaccines, we not only focus on market expansion in our overseas business layout, but also devote ourselves to technology transfer to help other countries establish local production capacity. In this process, we pay special attention to cooperation with Belt & Road (BRI) countries. In Indonesia, for example, during the 2022 G20 meeting, we introduced the inhaled tuberculosis vaccine to the Indonesian Minister of Health, who expressed strong interest and hope to localize production in Indonesia in the future. I look forward to working with outstanding entrepreneurs from countries along the "Belt and Road" to contribute to the construction of a new model of technological innovation and resource sharing in the field of Big Health.

Think carefully and discerningly, and soar to the dream of a strong country
