The 2017 conference of the Boao Forum for Asia will get underway on Thursday, with the forum’s Secretary-General Zhou Wenzhong saying that it will offer an Asian perspective on globalization
Zhou said during a press conference that there is a need for countries to see and talk about globalization more objectively. He added that globalization is a natural trend, created by national market needs, and is not pushed forward by any single country.
But he added that China's Belt and Road Initiative will be a major force in this trend.
