Tianjin, the traditional industrial center of North China, has revved up its efforts to push its intelligent manufacturing industry to new heights.
With the theme of "Shaping Innovative Societies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution", the World Economic Forum's "12th Annual Meeting of the New Champions" kicks of this week in Tianjin. The event, commonly known as "Summer Davos", will focus on new innovations - including AI, machine learning, the internet of things, and connected devices - as well as the challenge of centering these technologies on the current and impending needs of humanity. As the leader of a company that is at the forefront of this technological change, Rachel Duan, president and CEO of GE China, shares some of her thoughts on this new industrial revolution.

Travel and photography, particularly in China, have long been my passion. In the beginning, it was often the case of dashing around the country, shooting images of everything that was new to me before heading off to somewhere else and again taking photographs. That was when visits were limited by available holiday time from my native Scotland. Such experiences, although exciting, were often frustrating for I would depart with a feeling there was so much more to be gained. Now living in China, I find myself regularly returning to places that have fascinated me, taking time to discover more of the history, the different periods in time represented by architecture or maybe just surviving street names. Although appearing increasingly modern, China's cities have many layers to them going back sometimes thousands of years. Despite physical change, often a colorful human side has been retained - a street life just waiting to be photographed.
Tianjin, the gateway to North China, is a fast-growing city. The government support and talent available in Tianjin make it a great place for the logistics business. In the past, most foreign companies set up factories in Tianjin to make products for exporting. Nowadays, the rise of the middle class in China has altered the strategies of most companies. As the market in Tianjin has matured, we are targeting the domestic market. The free trade zone in Tianjin is great for foreign companies to do business. As a well-positioned port city, Tianjin will have a bright future.
At a high-level meeting in May 2016, a senior official said of the country's industrial business model: "China is already a big manufacturing nation, but far from a manufacturing power ... Integration of manufacturing and the internet is an inevitable path of modern industry."
