Today, a number of insightful people still see the shimmer of how China and the U.S. can cooperate. The intelligent choice for matching opponents when making close chase on the running track of human history is to focus on improving themselves rather than tripping over one another.

Also, two-thirds of the world’s oil trade and one-third of bulk cargo moves through this region. India considers the Indian Ocean as its own lake and makes efforts to justify its legitimacy in these waters. On the other hand, increasing economic interests and the need to protect its sea lanes of communication in the region have necessitated China to strengthen its naval presence.

    The Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference Report 2009 is co-produced by the Boao Forum for Asia and the Deloitte China Research and Insight Center on behalf of Deloitte as the Intellectual Supporting Partner to the BFA's Annual Conference. The report is intended to provide an overview of the topics discussed but it is not a complete documentation of the conference itself. References to speakers and panelists have been drawn from the Boao Forum for Asia's recordings of the sessions. The Boao Forum for Asia wishes to thank all the speakers and panelists at the Annual Conference 2009 for their participation and willingness to share their views, ideas and experience. Following the turmoil of the global financial crisis and in the midst of the global economic downturn, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2009 on 17-19 April, provided a valuable and timely opportunity for leaders of government, business and academia to meet and exchange views and ideas on the way ahead for the global economy, and the role of Asian economies. We would like to share with you this special report which we invited Deloitte, as our Intellectual Supporting Partner to the Boao Forum for Asia's Annual Conference, to co-produce with us. It encapsulates the key topics and ideas discussed last April as more than 1,400 delegates from approximately 40 countries around the world focused on "Asia: Managing beyond crisis", our Annual Conference 2009 theme. The consensus of delegates attending the Annual Conference 2009 was that a new global financial order is inevitable.

  • “America Ranked First”?!
    “America Ranked First”?! The Truth about America’s fight against COVID-19 Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China Taihe Institute Intellisia Institute August 9, 2021 “America Ranked First”?! The Truth about America’s fight against COVID-19 “America Ranked First”?! The Truth about America’s fight against COVID-19 August 9, 2021 “America Ranked First”?! The Truth about America’s fight against COVID-19 “America Ranked First”?! The Truth about America’s fight against COVID-19 Summary ● Flying in the face of stark reality, some U.S. media have rated the United States as “number one in the world” for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is contrary to basic human ethics and facts. It will not help future generations to look at the current world history realistically and objectively. On August 9, 2021, the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China, together with Taihe Think Tank and Intellisia Institute, released a research report entitled "The Truth about America's Fight against COVID-19". ● On July 30, 2021, the number of new COVID-19 cases in a single day exceeded 100,000 across the United States, entering the fourth wave of upsurge. Behind the cold numbers lies the domestic politics of the United States -- particularly the highly politicized partisanship, which has taken many lives of the Americans “who need not have died.” ● From the first COVID-19 outbreak to the present, there are many disagreements among the two parties of the United States that hold the country back: from nucleic acid testing, masks wearing, social distancing, home quarantine, vaccinations, to the distribution of strategic medical reserves, emergency relief bills, between federal, state, and local levels, between executive, legislative and judicial branches, and between conservative and liberal media.
