Barry Chan, Head of Asia and Australia Region at China International Capital Corporation (International) Limited, recently shared his insights with China Daily, highlighting that China and West Asia have complementary advantages in the areas of economic collaboration and decarbonization and their enterprises and institutions can attain mutual benefits and win-win results. "The West Asian region is trying hard to reduce their reliance on the oil industry. Instead, they want to build up not only new energy and electric vehicle industries but also the finance, travel, and health industries where Chinese companies can come over to help foster and invest." He said. The newspaper also reported that CICC, as an investment bank, aims to play the role of a bridge, to promote bilateral trade, investment and financing, and strategic cooperation.

Bizarrely, European leaders champions decarbonization on the global stage, often at the cost of local economic stability in poor countries. Yet now, it is threatening China for manufacturing affordable electric vehicles much needed to achieve real decarbonization! It’s not event about decarbonization but innovation and competitiveness, a preach spread around the world by the west. Human rights, sustainability, security, international relationships, innovation. One by one is falling in the west, an inminente collapse starting by moral bankruptcy. I cannot believe the level of dumbness in European leadership trapped now without cheap Russian energy, Chinas manufacture, and soon American security. EU needs more than ever an ambitious rejuvenation policy that can bring investors, entrepreneurs, innovators and policy makers together. #Poltics #EU #Geopolitics #Innovation #Business

https://lnkd.in/dTERtyMy The Global Gateway Investors Forum in Brussels marks a pivotal moment in EU-Central Asia relations, particularly in enhancing transport connectivity. Valdis Dombrovskis' announcement of €10 billion in investments underscores a commitment to sustainable development in Central Asia. With a focus on transforming the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor, the forum aims to expedite Europe-Central Asia trade, crucial in light of geopolitical tensions like Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The European Investment Bank's €1.47 billion commitment, facilitated by European Commission guarantees, sets a concrete precedent for future collaboration. Margaritis Schinas and Adina Vălean's remarks highlight the strategic importance of the Trans-Caspian route in fostering economic growth, job creation, and regional integration. As the EU advances its Global Gateway strategy, this forum exemplifies the convergence of public and private sectors in realizing ambitious infrastructure projects. Ultimately, the investments made here signal a tangible step towards a faster, safer, and more sustainable Europe-Central Asia transport network.

The Single Market allows 440 million people to study, live, shop, work, and retire freely across the EU. With 16% of global exports, the EU stands as a major trading power. European Commission's 2024 Annual Single Market and Competitiveness Report underlines the need to sustain its potential by: 🔸 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Strengthening both private and public financing is crucial to bolster Europe's competitiveness. 🔸 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: Fortifying capacities for critical clean and digital technologies, including ensuring access to vital raw materials and semiconductor capabilities. 🔸 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞: Fostering educational and training initiatives to align workforce skills with the needs of the green and digital transitions. #SingleMarket

The future of European competitiveness really depends on how we drive both capital markets and disruptive innovation—but the big question is, how do we fund this transformation? When the Single Market was created, highly relevant industries such as #AI and Computing or renewable energy sectors were not part of the conversation back then as they are today. Now, as we face growing competition from emerging players such as China, harmonizing these sectors is not just important—it’s necessary for EU‘s competitiveness. During my master’s as part of Sino-Danish Center For Education And Research where I earned my Major in Innovation Management, I learned that #innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. It thrives when people, industries, and even countries come together. True innovation needs #collaboration—it’s the only way to break down barriers and drive real progress. We have to move past national rivalries and work together if we want to succeed.
