G20 Hangzhou 2016 News and Updates

Dude, I have the same choice as yours!
Kunming!


The other choice of mine will be in Chongqing, a second tier one but in Western China.
Chongqing Municipality

Chongqing 2011


These are tier-2 (Chongqing) and tier-3 (Kunming) cities, still creating pressure on local citizens. Actually I suggest moving international forums to tier-4 or lower, an example of which is like Boao:

Remember the Boao Forum? Let's move all international conferences like G20 away from tier-1/2/3 cities.

Boao in Hainan is a tier-4 city.

Isn't tier-4 the smallest cities in China?

I would have thought that big conferences would be better hosted in bigger tier-1, 2 or 3 cities?

Did I miss something?

Boao is only a township.
According to Chinese standards, it is not one of the tier1/2/3/4 cities.
It is not even the main urban area of any county!
Just a town which belongs to some county.

I recommend a tier 4 city.
Liupanshui, a small city in China's poorest Guizhou Province.

China has 620+ cities, official classified into several ranks. Top ranks include 39 cities:
  • The 4 direct municipalities
  • The 28 regional capitals of 23 provinces and 5 ethnic autonomous regions.
  • The 2 special admin regions (Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR)
  • The 5 direct-budget vice-provincial cities (Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo, Xiamen, Shenzhen)
The idea of "Tier" isn't official, this classification is frequently used by media, academic or business purposes. As per 25th April 2016 edition of "First Financial Weekly", there are:
  • Tier-1, 19 cities
  • Tier-2, 30 cities
  • Tier-3, 70 cities
  • Tier-4, 90 cities
  • Tier-5, 129 cities
  • Others are not classified, including Boao
My opinion is that in order not to disrupt daily routine of local population, international conferences and events better stay away from large cities, the further away the better. For example, speaking as a Shanghai citizen, I do not want my city to host any event of such kind.

In terms of infrastructure, connectivity, tier-4, 5 and even smaller cities are more than capable of hosting these events. That's why I quote Boao as an example.

Kunming!

Great friends tend to always have similar thoughts:) Yunnan in general, has one of the best biodiversities in the world. Plus there are many different ethnic groups in Yunnan, and I believe a G20 summit could showcase to the world, how they have thrived well in China. The Muslim Hui community has integrated well in Kunming and they celebrate Ramadan:)
 
Getting the opportunity of hosting mega-sized events like G20 Summit and its related G20 Ministeral Meeting does not come by every year. The host of the G20 events is determined by rotation, each member country will get the chance once every 20 years The events last for 2-3 days each and most of the activities are organised on weekends
Vast majority of the host countries in the past have had the meetings held in their Capitol or first tier cities
Most of the venues in Hangzhou look brand new
I am sure the Hangzhou government has done a thorough study on cost vs ultilization before the projects of building the state-of-the-art infrastructures are committed
Hangzhou is very well worthy of hosting the event G20 Summit What's next? If China can secure world class events in Hangzhou like Boao which is held annually in Hainan for obvious reasons, then Hangzhou is adding immense value on a continual basis to the quality of this great city

Having the quality and capability of Hangzhou which is now proven to be ready for mega-events help guide the world to see China's cities in a refreshing perspective

Very good points you have made! It' all about MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions or Events) economy. Other than Hangzhou, we can see many examples, like Dalian which hosts the 2015 Summer Davos.


What I am suggesting is for some cities, especially those top-tier, densely populated and economically well developed ones, where MICE is relatively speaking a minor industry, we shouldn't overload these already very busy cities. I reside in Shanghai, travels extensively to Beijing, I am witnessing such pressures first hand, I also see that other top-tier cities are fast experiencing the same development trajectory (as a result of rapid urbanization), they will end up like Shanghai pretty soon.

That's why I am glad to see low-tier cities increasingly develop MICE economy, like Boao, Liupanshui as suggested by @AndrewJin , and Zhangjiakou which will hosts 2022 Winter Olympics. Thanks!

Xi expects China-Japan ties back on normal track
September 05, 2016
(Xinhua)

President Xi Jinping told Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday that China and Japan should "put aside disruptions" and bring their relations back on the normal track as soon as possible.

In their meeting held after a two-day G20 summit in the resort city of Hangzhou, Xi said China and Japan are important and close neighbors to each other.

Long-term, healthy and stable development of bilateral ties is conducive to the benefits of people from both countries and to regional peace and stability, Xi said.

He said currently Sino-Japanese ties are still "troubled by complications at times." The two countries should put aside such disruptions and propel bilateral relations back on the track of normal development as soon as possible.

According to the Chinese president, China's basic standpoint to improve its relations with Japan has not changed. Bilateral ties have entered a key phase, where "no progress means regression."

"Both sides should bolster their sense of responsibility and crisis awareness, and work to build on the positive elements of bilateral ties while putting a lid on negative ones, in order to ensure stable improvement of relations," Xi said.

They should also make the most of the 45th anniversary of normalization of Sino-Japanese ties in 2017, and the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between China and Japan the year after, to push forward Sino-Japanese ties, he said.

Xi stressed that China and Japan should adhere to their four political documents and the four-point principled agreement reached in late 2014, in a bid to ensure that their political foundation of bilateral relations will stand firm.

The two countries should properly "manage historical issues, and prevent new issues from emerging" in a bid to cut back on the "stumbling blocks," Xi added.

When talking about China-Japan cooperation, Xi noted that the two countries are highly complementary in economy, and that they could strengthen macroeconomic communication and raise the level of practical cooperation in all sectors.

The two sides should also carry forward the tradition of people-to-people friendship and boost exchanges at local levels.

"Both countries should follow the new concept featuring win-win cooperation, make joint efforts to advance regional cooperation, and address global challenges," he said.

The Chinese president said China and Japan should properly handle the East China Sea issue via dialogue and consultation to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the region.

Japan, he said, should "exercise caution in its words and deeds" on the South China Sea issue, so as not to disrupt the improvement of Sino-Japanese ties.

Abe, for his part, congratulated China on the success of the G20 Hangzhou summit.

He said Japan attaches great importance to its relations with China, noting the two countries are "neighbors that can not be parted."

Tokyo is willing to establish political trust with Beijing, and will work to improve bilateral ties in the spirit of consensus reached between the two countries, and maintain dialogues on relevant issues.

Abe added that Japan hopes to step up cooperation with China in finance, trade and environmental protection.
 
Honestly, I am Glad to see yesterday coup backed by CIA in Turkey already Fail.
@Lure @Zulkarneyn @PaklovesTurkiye
My Wish for Stability in Turkey Government soon, and Russia-China and Turkey relationship.

Despite Turkish government still open to preassure from US, it's good to see a shift how conservatives' perception of the West is starting to change. Altough conservatives in Turkey needs to reconsider a lot of things and adapt themselves to secular order, the failed coup and their resistence made me percieve them as a respectible movement.

We need to form a Eurasian mindset, a common culture and a broad consensus for our international relations. Duterte is currently showing us how we should behave against the West. This is a huge shift. In the past they were coming from the West and waiving their finger and telling us how we should be. But more and more we hear from Asian nations "this is our country, we will run it like we want it. Thanks for your concern. But you can f*** off".

That attitude should be fundemental for our Eurasian mindset.

The Yankees are losing control of pretty much everything.

Many countries are no longer giving a damn about Yankee opinion.

Their problems will only get worse. There is only so much you can control and micromanage.
