CHINA's emphasis on driving a shift to new quality productive forces will inject strong tailwinds into the economy and create rising growth opportunities for investors worldwide, said Simon Lacey, head of Digital Trade and Geopolitics at the World Economic Forum.

"I think China is well positioned to benefit and also accelerate its development in the area of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, internet of things and industrial robots," Lacey said during an exclusive interview with China Daily.
