A2:

We have two expectations. Middle-class growth and rural sector growth.

Our expectation for this year’s summit is it will reinforce the recovery of the manufacturing industry, by further unlocking its growth potential and creating more opportunities, and create more room for the sustainable longterm development of the middle class, which is the engine for category growth and the foundation for social harmony.

We are particularly interested in the summit’s focus on “innovation”, since innovative business models, strategies and technologies can drive long-term growth. Innovation has proved to be an important factor in our success. We would like to see the summit provide a detailed plan on how to achieve thriving economies through innovation in various fields. The greatest opportunity is to leverage innovation to provide wealth in the towns and rural areas in China so the development and wealth of China will have a larger footprint.
