Professor Chao Heping of Peking University told the Global Times (GT), "At this Davos Forum, Premier Li will announce China's economic growth outlook and key policy guidelines for this year," adding, "At the same time, he will call for strengthened international cooperation and a firm opposition to unilateralism and protectionism."

According to the annual "Global Risks Report" published by WEF on the 10th (local time), a survey was conducted on 1,490 risk experts from global businesses, academia, governments, and civil society regarding short-term (within the next 2 years) and long-term (within the next 10 years) global risks. Among them, 63% predicted that the likelihood of a global catastrophe will increase within the next 10 years. The most serious global risk within the next 2 years was identified as "misinformation and disinformation," followed by "extreme weather anomalies."

GT mentioned this, stating, "It is a crucial moment for China's vision of global sustainable development," and added, "Initiatives proposed by China, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, will be important in promoting the development of other emerging countries." It further quoted analysts, saying, "China is currently the world's largest producer of solar and wind energy," emphasizing that "developing renewable energy is an effective solution to climate change and will create more jobs."
