The recently concluded 2025 Tsinghua PBCSF Global Finance Forum centered on building a shared future with open and inclusive economic and financial systems. This year's BizTalk episode brings two key voices to the table: Tian Xuan, chair professor of finance and associate dean at Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance, and Kairat Kelimbetov, former deputy prime minister of Kazakhstan. They joined CGTN's Aaron Liu to unpack how China is steering growth stabilization alongside structural transformation, and how win-win diplomacy with Kazakhstan is reshaping cooperation in supply chain resilience, digital connectivity, and green energy.
Balancing Growth and Transformation
Tian Xuan outlined China's dual approach: maintaining steady growth rates while pushing deeper reforms in its financial markets and economic structure. 'Our goal,' she noted, 'is to ensure stability in the near term without sacrificing long-term innovation.' This balancing act speaks to a broader trend among emerging markets, where policymakers must juggle immediate challenges like inflation and debt with strategic shifts toward new industries and sustainable practices.
Win-win Diplomacy in Action
Kairat Kelimbetov highlighted landmark projects that cement the China-Kazakhstan partnership. From bolstering cross-border supply chains to expanding digital corridors, both nations are designing networks that can withstand global disruptions. 'We're not just building pipelines and trade routes,' he said, 'we're creating resilient infrastructures that support businesses and communities on both sides.' He also pointed to joint investments in green energy initiatives, underscoring a shared commitment to cutting emissions and fostering clean-tech innovation.
Future Outlook
As the forum wrapped up, both experts agreed that open dialogue and inclusive frameworks are key to navigating today's challenges. Whether it's aligning financial systems or synchronizing digital platforms, collaboration remains the guiding principle. For young innovators and global citizens alike, these insights offer a roadmap for building a more connected and resilient economic future.
