China Daily's publisher Zhou Shuchun addresses Vision China
The latest Vision China event, themed "Pearl of the Yellow River, Star of the Silk Road", is held in Lanzhou, the capital city of Northwest China's Gansu province that runs through the Yellow River.
The city, also a prominent spot on the ancient Silk Road, is known as a popular tourist destination.
This event, broadcast live on Sept 25, puts the spotlight on the city and its efforts to build a tourism hub with the Belt and Road Initiative.
Launched in 2018 by China Daily, Vision China invites renowned political, business and academic speakers to tell China's story from a global perspective and discuss major China-related topics of international interest. It is a broad platform to make China's voice better heard around the world, as well as build a new channel to respond to global concerns on major China-related issues.
Vision China has been held 15 times so far, in a diverse set of venues including Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Macao, the United States, the UK and South Africa. The latest event is the seventh Vision China session to be held online due to COVID-19.
