Chinese junket: WEF & CCP hold 'summer Davos'

Post-pandemic, the World Economic Forum has resumed its "summer Davos" series of conferences held in communist China.

Bring the World Economic Forum to China | Ministry of Foreign Affairs, People's Republic of China: 

August 29, 2022 - "In the summer of 2007, the World Economic Forum (WEF) came all the way from Davos, Switzerland, where its winter annual meetings are held, to Dalian, a coastal city in China. This renowned gathering of world business leaders had its first summer session in the East ... from September 6 to 8.

"In 1978, Klaus Schwab, founder and Executive Chairman of the WEF, ... predicted that huge changes would take place in China. He ... was sure that China would play a vital role on the world stage when he read about Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening-up policy in 1978.... In the following decades, Dr. Schwab has worked actively for closer cooperation between the WEF and China and witnessed China's journey of reform and opening-up. Over the past four decades, the WEF has maintained good cooperation with China.... 

"In 2005, Dr. Schwab proposed the idea of a Summer Davos in China, in addition to the regular annual meeting in the small Swiss town of Davos. After the decision was made, he went through many cities in China and finally picked Dalian and Tianjin as the host cities.... With the joint efforts of China and the WEF, the first Annual Meeting of the New Champions was held in Dalian in 2007. Since then, Tianjin and Dalian would take turns to host the meeting. As Dr. Schwab said, the WEF would have two pillars: the Winter Davos and the Summer Davos. The WEF planned to make the Summer Davos a major international conference as big and influential as the Winter Davos, with a focus on internationalization."

WEF tilts more pro-China with ‘Summer Davos’ set for Tianjin | Washington Times - Cheryl K. Chumley:

April 7, 2023 - "The World Economic Forum has announced a June meeting — a 'Summer Davos' — of global elites to be held in Tianjin in China, showing once again its willingness to work with communists.... If only Joe Biden weren’t president, perhaps this gathering wouldn’t be so worrisome. As it stands, Biden is fully committed to the WEF’s Great Reset vision of total top-down control of the world’s populations. He just calls it something different; he just terms it Build Back Better. But it’s one and the same.

"It’s all about bringing about a more Marxist model of government that completely redefines capitalism and free markets; reconfigures priorities of businesses; redirects profits and redistributes revenues in line with political elitists’ agendas — and does this all by feigning 'for-the-good-of-all' approaches to the environment, health, education and justice....

"And by honoring the dignity of all, the WEF, of course, means dishonoring the dignities of those who simply wish to work, raise their families and be left alone to live out their God-given ambitions, by exercising their God-given liberties and rights. The WEF seeks to steal away individualism and press forth collectivism. That makes the WEF and communist China natural partners.

"'The global economy is at a pivotal moment of transformation,' WEF writes. 'Established business and industry models have not only been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic, but are now being tested by a more competitive geopolitical and geoeconomic environment. How to navigate these developments and simultaneously accelerate progress on critical common goals, from energy transition to safeguarding nature and climate, is top of mind for decision-makers worldwide.' So the WEF’s got an 'Entrepreneurship: The Driving Force of the Global Economy' gathering planned as part of its New Champions 2023 campaign.

"In China.... In the land of communist, human-rights-abusing, communist, religious-freedom-busting, communist China. In the last place in the world where free markets, free entrepreneurship, anything free would actually be found. But that’s where the WEF will go, singing a song about new capitalism and shared capitalism and reset capitalism all the while."
