Beijing witnessed a high-profile dialogue on January 9 as Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, a key CPC figure, engaged with Disney’s leader Bob Iger in the heart of China’s political hub.
Ding opened by stressing the symbiotic relationship between China’s prosperity and global gains. With the 14th Five-Year Plan wrapped up successfully—boasting landmark accomplishments and bolstering international development—the stage is set for the next phase as mapped out in the recent CPC plenary session. Priorities include propelling premium development, deepening openness at elevated levels, and refining the investment ecosystem.
He enthusiastically called on Disney and fellow international firms to deepen commitments in China, amplify their operations, contribute to national modernization, tap into burgeoning opportunities, and scale new heights of growth.
Iger reciprocated with Disney’s unwavering trust in China’s ascent, pledging sustained investment hikes to enhance bilateral ties between America and China.
As economic headwinds persist globally, this rendezvous highlights China’s allure as a prime destination for entertainment conglomerates, hinting at future expansions like theme parks and media ventures.
