China's President Xi to promote globalisation at WEF in Davos
Beijing
CHINA'S President Xi Jinping will promote "inclusive globalisation" at this month's World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and will warn that populist approaches can lead to "war and poverty", Chinese officials said on Wednesday.
This year's forum, from Jan 17-20, is expected to be dominated by discussion of a surge in public hostility towards globalisation and the rise of US President-elect Donald Trump, whose tough talk on trade, including promises of tariffs against China and Mexico, helped win him the White House. Mr Trump will be sworn in on Jan 20.
