China Is Transforming The World, And It Could Impact Your Business Sooner Than You Think

This Spotlight is sponsored by Capital Dynamics.

In March 2019, President Xi Jinping visited Italy, Monaco, and France, but the highlight was the signing of the agreement in Rome on 22 March 2019. This makes Italy the 1st G7 nation to sign on to the 'Belt and Road' initiative, expanding China's potential influence in the not-too-distant future.

Should you learn Mandarin and send your children to Chinese universities? How can you start investing in China? What should you do to position your business for success in this next era spearheaded by China? If you have questions like these on your mind, Global Investor Week is where you need to be.

Organised by Capital Dynamics, in celebration of their 30 years anniversary, the 2018/2019 Global Investor Week will be bringing in some of the most prolific speakers from all around the world for a one-of-a-kind investment event in Malaysia.

Wondering where Malaysia is headed in terms of politics, economics, and its markets? Come discover the real state of affairs in New Malaysia, including crucial structural issues and where the nation stands amidst the fluid global economy.

The first session on Day 1, this open discussion will feature Capital Dynamics' Managing Director Tan Teng Boo and Permatang Pauh's MP Nurul Izzah.

There's a reason why China's top leadership like Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang have made 79 visits to Africa over the past 10 years. While most Malaysians still have eyes set locally and in surrounding regions, China has already been making headway in Africa, which will add more than 1.3 billion people in the next 40 years.

Come listen to Professor Peter Kagwanja, Chief Executive of Africa Policy Institute, to find out how you can set your business up for long-term success following China's footsteps.

Another major project by China—the Belt and Road Initiative, a plan to connect China to 152 countries around the world, has also been met with mixed reactions. Malaysia, for example, is still on the fence and renegotiating a RM81.5 billion high-speed rail deal.

Learn from Dr Goh ChorChing, a Malaysian economic adviser with 20 years of experience in the World Bank, on how China's Belt and Road Initiative will affect your business in the future.

Here is the list of speakers for Global Investor Week, Day 2:

• Tan Teng Boo, Managing Director of Capital Dynamics
• Victor Gao Zhikai, English interpreter to Deng Xiaoping
• Dr Goh ChorChing, Economic Adviser, World Bank
• James Bradley, Renowned Author of 'The China Mirage'
