At China’s Belt and Road Forum last week, where Beijing marked the 10th anniversary of its lavish $1tn infrastructure programme, foreign leaders and executives were repeatedly invited to participate in China’s “high-quality development”.One of President Xi Jinping’s favourite slogans, the term is vaguely defined. But few sectors probably encapsulate its underlying ambition better than China’s green technology industries, particularly its electric-vehicle makers. Not only has China become an EV leader with its own brands and advanced technology, it is also rapidly increasing its exports.
上週中國舉辦了「一帶一路」(Belt and Road)論壇,紀念這個大手筆的1兆美元的基礎設施項目推出10週年。在論壇上,外國領導人和高階主管被反覆邀請參與中國的「高質量發展」。
