This spring, believing in China has become more than a phrase—it’s a global trend. As major international forums concluded, a shared message emerged. Business leaders, experts, and policymakers continue to express optimism about China’s economic direction.
During the China Development Forum, Boao Forum for Asia, and Zhongguancun Forum, many expressed confidence in China’s future. Foreign CEOs and executives flocked to China to explore new investments. Their visits reinforced one idea—believing in China means betting on stability and opportunity.
President Xi Jinping addressed the international business community in March. He emphasized that investing in China is investing in the future. His words resonated widely: “Believing in China is believing in a better tomorrow.”
Foreign companies are backing those words with action. AstraZeneca announced a new global R&D center in Beijing. Shanghai welcomed several new regional headquarters and foreign-funded research hubs. Multinational firms are clearly choosing China during uncertain global times.
China’s innovation boom fuels much of this confidence. In early 2025, production of bullet trains, drones, and industrial robots surged. Growth in artificial intelligence and smart factories continues at a fast pace. Bosch chairman Stefan Hartung called China a “global innovation powerhouse.”
Meanwhile, China supports international cooperation, not protectionism. Its open-door policy appeals to businesses seeking stable supply chains. New trade routes and infrastructure projects link China with regions like Central Asia and South America.
Additionally, believing in China means recognizing its economic resilience. Despite global headwinds, China’s economy still targets 5% growth. That target, once doubted, now inspires confidence from foreign financial institutions.
China’s government rolled out strong policies last year to boost growth. Those efforts helped stabilize key industries and spark recovery. Policymakers continue using smart tools to encourage long-term development.
Ultimately, with strong institutions, vast markets, and advanced industries, China stays on course. For global investors, leaders, and innovators, believing in China remains a firm choice in a shifting world.
