2020 Opening Keynote at the 5th China Global Think Tank Innovation Forum

The Fifth edition of China Global Think Tank Innovation Forum was held on November 24, 2020 at the Penn Wharton China Center in Beijing, China. As a growing force in national development and international relations, think tanks are in constant need to enhance capacity to innovate to be able to provide more effective policy advice. Meanwhile, think tanks today are operating in an increasingly uncertain world caused by technological advancement, political instability, economic fluctuation and globalization. The Fifth Annual China Think Tank Innovation Forum seeks ways to cultivate resilience in think tanks in a fast-changing world. This global forum will be attended by leaders, executives, and researchers from national, regional, and global networks of think tanks, research institutions, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and other civil society organizations. As a pillar of the post-war world order that underpins globalization, the European spirit of multilateralism has been consistently dampened by Brexit and the widespread anti-globalization populist sentiments in the past few years. European interests are also being affected by the dynamics of US-China rivalry that represented both opportunities and challenges. As many parts of the world are suffering from a second wave of coronavirus outbreak while the US election is inching toward a winner, it is time for China and Europe to look for a new course of cooperation to revive multilateralism and add much need momentum to the global economy.
