The Master Talks on China's Greater Bay Area was held by GDToday and China Institute for Innovation and Development Strategy (CIIDS) as a side-event of the 2023 Understanding China Conference in Guangzhou on December 1, aiming to facilitate exchange of global wisdom on the GBA which is an economically dynamic to drive future growth in China.
Mr. Li Cheng, Professor of Political Science and Founding Director of Centre on Contemporary China and the World, University of Hong Kong, recalled his talk with Dr. Kissinger before he left the United States. Li said, "One of his theses is that he believed China, United States are equally powerful. He cannot imagine as one country can defeat the other, or one country suddenly completely collapse. As long as you do not make it a number of fatal mistakes. So if that's the case, we need to learn and cooperate, so he has the concept of co-evolution."
The 2023 Understanding China Conference (UCC) is underway in Guangzhou from December 1 to 3. The three-day conference sheds light on topics such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), AI, digital economy, new energy, international cooperation, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).
