Q&A: What the year has in store

Editor's note: The World Economic Forum, which began on Jan 17 in Davos, Switzerland, will go on until Jan 20. It is focusing attention on the prospects for the Chinese economy and how it will intertwine with global finances against the backdrop of increasing uncertainties. China Daily has interviewed 18 chief executives of leading multinational companies to know their outlook for China as well as their corporate strategies for 2017. This is the second of the three full-page special reports. The final installment will appear in Thursday's edition.
