The destiny of humanity is shared future

The message US President Donald Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, carried can be summarized thus: Hey guys, are you so blind that you cannot even notice what a great deal I have done for my country in just one year? Under my presidency, America will be "great again", and so you should invest your money in the United States to make it happen. After we are done, we will make sure you get some leftovers. The rules we previously laid down are now less advantageous to us. Trust me, I will dismantle them to make sure they are tilted more in the US' favor, and so your money is safe with us.

For Trump, Davos was a typical American roadshow to attract international investors. For many in the audience, they certainly did not expect something like that from the "most powerful man on Earth" at a global summit. Businesses and investors in general may not care whether America will be "great again", as many would want more investment in their home countries. What the audience expects to take home from such global forums is some valuable advice on what has gone wrong with the world, and how to fix it.

And those were exactly the issues that President Xi Jinping addressed in his speech in Davos last year.
