　　China"s voices are receiving significant attention at the ongoing World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, because China has many key assets in the global economy, including trade and investment connectivity, industrial transformation and supply chain resilience, responsible technology deployment, and the scaling of clean energy solutions, Kimberley Botwright, deputy head of the Centre for Regions, Trade and Geopolitics at the WEF, told the Global Times on Thursday in a written interview.

　　The voices from China that tend to resonate most widely are those that are practical and solutions-oriented, and those that connect domestic priorities with global cooperation. This includes policy perspectives on stabilizing and facilitating trade, strengthening investment confidence, and advancing high-quality development through innovation and industrial upgrading. It also includes business and innovation perspectives focused on scaling real-economy applications, moving from pilots to measurable outcomes, and strengthening resilience in production networks, Botwright said.

　　In terms of examples from the event, China-related discussions that attracted broad interest include dialogues on China"s economic trajectory and global linkages, the next phase of manufacturing transformation, and how China will manage its relationship with the US, according to the official.
