Chinese Premier Li Qiang criticized the West at the opening of the World Economic Forum for “de-risking” from China, calling it a “false proposition.” However, experts point out that Li’s remarks are unfounded, and the Chinese regime’s coercive economic tactics have caused many companies to move their production out of China to reduce risks.

The World Economic Forum—known colloquially as the “Summer Davos”—was held in Tianjin from June 27 to 29, with representatives from more than 90 countries and regions.
