Incredible development opportunities

Q&A | Feike Sijbesma

Which three words would you use to describe China today?

Prosperity. Innovation. Sustainability. And, if I might add a fourth word, vitality. Economic prosperity has always been the country's goal. As part of the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20), the focus of the government's domestic development has been on reducing inequality, recalibrating the economy for more inclusive, stable growth, and addressing urbanization. At the same time, this includes reducing the environmental impact of China's rapid development as it emerges as a key player on the global stage.
