New Vision and New Path for Sustainable Development in the South China Sea

(Dong Yu Grand Ballroom B, International Conference Center)

- The South China Sea is a repository of natural resources and the common homeland for China and neighboring countries. In recent years, the over-exploitation of fishery resources, the degradation of biodiversity, and the pollution of the ecological environment have brought enormous pressure to the sustainable development of the sea. It is hence urgent to conduct effective regional marine environmental governance and cooperation. However, the uncertainty caused by factors such as maritime disputes and geopolitical conflicts cannot be ignored.

- This year marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the "Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC)". China and relevant ASEAN countries are expected to move towards each other and work together to accelerate the implementation of maritime pragmatic cooperation under the framework of the DOC, and to reach an effective and substantive "Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC)" as soon as possible. These efforts shall lead to building the South China Sea into a sea of peace, cooperation and greenness.

Global Inflation, Interest Rate Hikes and Economic Stability

(Hesheng Ballroom, Level 1, Dongyu Island Hotel)

- In 2021, with soaring prices of commodities, food and housing, inflation risks are threatening global economic and financial stability. Commodity prices further fluctuated due to the Ukraine crisis. Developed countries such as the UK and Canada and some emerging economies are already on track to raise interest rates. Following tapering measures, the Federal Reserve announced interest rate hikes in March.

- Are the factors triggering this round of inflation temporary or structural? Will the interest rate increases burst the bubbles in global financial assets including digital assets? How will emerging economies be affected? How should the world respond to the challenges of inflation, normalize post-pandemic policies, and maintain global macroeconomic stability?
