A panel discussion, "Opportunity China," brought together global affairs expert David Gosset, Deputy Director of the Center for China and Globalization Victor Gao, and Special Representative on China of the Prime Minister of Pakistan Zafar Uddin Mahmood.

Mahmood, who first came to China in 1976, urged content creators to look beyond viral appeal and convey the deeper story of China's development. "Historical sites, food, shopping — all are important," he said. "But in today's complex international environment, we must also introduce the new China. Where do these opportunities come from? Today, in my country, 30 percent of people use solar panels — because China produces vast quantities at affordable prices. The same is true for electric vehicles. I hope influencers will not focus solely on traffic, but also share these key aspects of China with the world."
