The world's financiers and heads of business have flocked to Beijing's 2025 Financial Street Forum after China revealed its growth roadmap, and CGTN caught up with Alan Ho, the co-senior country officer for China and the Asia Pacific chief financial officer at J.P. Morgan, for an exclusive interview.

Alan told CGTN that he believes China is entering a new stage of growth over the next five years, with a focus on developing its own new technologies as well as consumer products.

With notable advancements in AI, automation and robotics, China is strengthening its position as a major player in global technological innovation. Over the next five years, China's resilient supply chain, continued industrial upgrading and large talent base are expected to remain important drivers of growth for both China and the global economy.
