At the 2025 Financial Street Forum in Beijing, the world’s financiers and business leaders gathered to explore China’s next growth chapter. Among them was J.P. Morgan’s Alan Ho, co-senior country officer for China and Asia Pacific CFO, who sat down with CGTN to share his insights.
“China is entering a new stage of growth over the next five years,” Ho said. “We expect a big push in homegrown technologies and consumer products.” With rapid strides in AI, automation and robotics, China is carving out a major role in global tech innovation.
Key growth drivers include China’s resilient supply chain, ongoing industrial upgrading and vast talent pool. These factors not only fuel domestic brands but also ripple across the global economy. From smart factories in Shenzhen to robotics hubs in Shanghai, local innovators are transforming ideas into scalable solutions.
As young entrepreneurs, investors and changemakers look ahead, China’s emphasis on self-developed tech and rising brands offers fresh opportunities. Whether you’re pitching a startup, planning cross-border collaborations or tracking market trends, this wave of innovation is one to watch.
