This year's World Economic Forum in Davos unfolds against what an official release describes as the most complex geopolitical environment in decades.
As 2026 begins and your growing strength,
what economic risks lie ahead and what constructive role can China play?
Welcome to Road Today, the panel discussion with Miko Anna in Beijing.
Just days into 2026, raw power politics made a blunt return.
A president was forcibly seized abroad.
The sovereignty of aligned states came under strain, and tariffs reemerged as a weapon.
Weeks later, as a broad economic forum opened under snow-covered mountains of doubles,
the erosion of international order was impossible to ignore.
It's against this backdrop that this year's forum convened under the banner of the spirit of dialogue.
Addressing the forum, Chinese Vice Premier He Li Feng reaffirmed four core principles—support for free trade,
commitment to multilateralism, win-win cooperation, and dialogue based on equality and mutual respect.

with economies surpassing 140 trillion yuan or about 20 trillion US dollars for the first time.
