Confidence to tackle technology challenges rising

Chinese firms better than global peers in taking proactive steps, says Deloitte

Chinese business leaders are more confident and prepared in addressing the challenges brought by new technologies than those in many other countries, said Cindy Hook, CEO of Deloitte Asia-Pacific, a global consultancy firm, on Thursday.

While many business leaders in the rest of the world take a protective approach to using technologies, China's leaders would like to "disrupt their sectors" and facilitate real changes, Hook said on the sidelines of the Boao Forum for Asia.
