Chinese youth shine at Davos Forum

Among the notable participants of the recent World Economic Forum (Davos Forum) in Davos, Switzerland, a team of young leaders from China quickly became a focal point at the event.

The delegation, composed of three exceptional youth representatives — Zhou Hanliang, Lin Zhiqi, and Wu Linlin — showcased the vision and spirit of China's younger generation through their insightful contributions and innovative thinking.

The delegation engaged in a dynamic discussion with prominent leaders, including Derek Li Haoyang, chairman of Squirrel AI Learning, Stanford Professor Erik Brynjolfsson, and Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind and Nobel Laureate. Drawing from their own experiences and societal observations, the young delegates presented constructive ideas while the guests shared their cutting-edge insights.

The delegation also participated in key activities of the Davos Forum, including roundtable discussions on emerging trends and challenges. At the Youth Leadership Forum, they exchanged views on AI, technological development, social responsibility, sustainable development, and global innovation with youth leaders from around the world.

By addressing key issues such as AI, digital transformation, and the evolving relationship between education and industry, the Youth Leadership Davos aims to amplify the international voice of Chinese youth. The forum said it will continue to encourage young Chinese leaders to actively engage in global development and provide them with tools to effectively tell the nation's story.
