On October 11， the Center for China and Globalization （CCG） and Springer jointly launchedthe book，Consensus or Conflict？ -China and Globalization in the 21st century， a book focusing on tackling with global challenges and promoting global governance，for the first time in the world。

Below is Leana Li’s address for the book launch：

I’m Li Yan，Editorial Director of Books for Springer Nature China。 I am delighted toonce againhave thepleasureto see President Wang，mycolleagues andotherdistinguished guests todayfor the launch our new collaborative bookConsensus or Conflict？ - China and Globalization in the 21stCentury。

As the world‘s largest publisher of academic books and journals， Springer Nature provides publishing and research services to scholars and researchers in all fields worldwide。 It also has deep roots in China， with its earliest business contacts dating back to 1907。

In recent years， Springer Nature has seen a rapid growth in the number of books published on China， and a steady increase in its influence and international attention。 Having worked at Springer for about a decade， I have witnessed the rapid and growing influence of Chinese research on the world stage， but in particular the increased attention on China’s output of research in the humanities on the global stage over the past decade。 The driving force behind all these is the rise of China， which is engaged in exchanges and cooperation with other countries and regions of the world in different fields and at different levels。

In the post-pandemic era， the world is undergoing changes that have not been seen in a century。 Recently， the Chinese government announcedits14th Five-Year Plan and the outline of the 2035 Vision， which set out a strategy for high-quality， healthy and sustainable development。 Guided by President Xi Jinping‘skey concepts on targeted poverty alleviation， China has lifted nearly 100 million people out of povertyover the pasteight years。Perhaps even more inspiring isPresident Xi Jinping’scommitment tocarbon peak targets andhiscarbon neutral vision。

In his special messageatthe Davos Forum， President Xi Jinping also explained his advocacy of multilateralism and the building of “a community with a shared future for mankind”， calling on all countries to work together to promote world economic growth， reject ideological prejudices， overcome the North-South development divide and join hands to tackle global challenges。 We believe that China will further promote international academic exchanges and cooperation with a more open mind and initiatives。 The world needs more practical experiences and theoretical reflections from China in order to understand the real “China story”。 Springer Nature will continue to work with the Chinese and international academic community to promote discovery and help countries address global challenges。 We will help academics to leverage the theoretical and methodological strengths of academic research， to explain Chinese theory and summarize Chinese practice in a rational and standardized academic presentation， and thus to present the theoretical， logical， cultural and spiritual qualities behind the Chinese story in a more distinctive way。 In our publishing， we will continue to maintain transparent， open and objective communication， and adhere to the principles of research and publishing ethics。

CCG is Springer Nature‘s key book publishing partner in China。 Over the past two to three years， we have worked with CCG to develop two series of books on the themesincludinginternational talent mobility and enterprises’ globalization in China， in which we have published the research of President Wang Huiyao and various experts in the field， and received positive feedback from readers around the world。 So today I feel very honored and excited to be able to launch the first book in the China and Globalization Series -Consensus or Conflict？ - China and Globalization in the 21stCentury。

The English version of theChina and Globalization Series will be published in the industry-leading Open Access format。 This means that the full electronic version of the book will no longer be subject to payment barriers and will be available to all readers worldwideto download forfree。 The core spirit of Open Access is to break down payment barriers andbarriers toknowledgethat limitthe dissemination of knowledge and ideas， and to enable the content of publications to be read and disseminated to the widest possible audience， thereby facilitating knowledge sharing and collaboration and expanding win-win situations。 Springer Nature， as one of the world’s leading brands in developing access to publishing， appreciates and admires the CCG‘s open and supportive attitude towards open access。

More Information

The internationalization of Chinese enterprises is one of the most notable aspects of economic globalization in the 21st century。 Despite the 2008 financial crisis and weak global outbound investment， under the “go global“ initiative， Chinese outbound investment has gone from strength to strength， while also diversifying in terms of investment modalities， destinations， and industries。 However， growing anti-globalization sentiment in some countries has also created new challenges for Chinese firms expanding internationally。

Drawing on nearly 3000 data samples， using both quantitative and qualitative research methods， this book presents unique insights into the features and patterns of Chinese enterprises’ globalization。 The analysis provides a useful reference for enterprises that have already gone global and those that plan to。 In particular， this book investigates challenges confronted by Chinese companies when doing business in foreign countries。 It summarizes research covering three angles， namely： the current situation， causation analysis and corresponding solutions， and recommendations for firms， government agencies and other institutions。

This book provides a comprehensive overview to help readers to grasp the broad picture of the international expansion of Chinese enterprises。 It has important reference value for enterprises to help devise foreign investment strategy， seize opportunities， and navigate challenges in the course of globalization。

More Information

This book offers the most comprehensive， up-to-date assessment of China’s domestic and international migration。 Restructuring economic development requires large numbers of educated and skilled talents， but this effort comes at a time when the size of China’s domestic workforce is shrinking。 In response， both national and regional governments in China have been keen to encourage overseas Chinese talents and professionals to return to the country。 Meanwhile， the Chinese government has initiated a number of policies to attract international highly-skilled talents and enhance the country’s competitiveness， and some Chinese policies have started attracting foreign talents， who are coming to the country to work， and even to stay。 Since Chinese policies， mechanisms， and administration efforts to attract and retain skilled domestic or overseas talents are helping to reshape China’s economy and are significantly affecting the cooperation on migration and talent mobility， these aspects， in addition to being of scholarly and research interest， hold considerable commercial potential。
