'Tomorrow will be even better than today'

Chinese women now a global force

The Women's Forum Asia has helped connect women internationally and served to bridge ideas between the east and the west, Yan Lan, vice-chairperson of Women's Forum Asia and partner of the French law firm Gide Loyrette Nouel, said.

As the first woman partner at the renowned law firm which offers legal advice and assistance to both private and public sector institutions, Yan Lan says Chinese women's rising role is rapidly changing the world's perceptions of both the country and its people.
