The China Development Forum, sponsored by the Development Research Center of the State Council since 2000, is aimed at establishing new channels of dialogue and communication for entrepreneurs, scholars, and government officials at home and abroad. The Forum is designed to “hear the voice of the world and explore the path for China’s development,” and under this principle, the China Development Forum 2010 was held on March 21st-22nd at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, Beijing.

The diversity and richness of the discussions has aroused great attention on the Forum and exerted huge public response.
