GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE: WINNING IN THE CHINA MARKET 
Presented by Air China

VIEWPOINT: CHINA'S SOFT POWER: GLOBAL INFLUENCE AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY
How does a nation build its global influence and image in the world? Why have some countries been so successful in projecting their "soft power" while others have struggled? China has an impressive story to tell yet, as it flexes its "soft power", it also faces some image challenges that must be overcome. How will China wield its "soft power" and what does this mean for the geopolitics and economics of the 21st century?

VIEWPOINT: UNLEASHING CORPORATE CHINA: SOEs AND PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
China's State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) have been an integral part of China's development for the past 30 years, creating wealth and jobs for millions of people.  Yet some experts believe that SOEs make it difficult for private companies to launch, compete and grow.  What changes are needed in the system and how can Beijing create a more level playing field? Are private-public partnerships the solution? Is there sufficient will for reform and, if so, who will champion it?

VIEWPOINT: CAN CHINA BE ENERGY INDEPENDENT? 
Presented by DuPont
With increasing available oil reserves and new access to natural gas, the U.S. could become energy-independent of the Middle East for the first time. China might have even bigger shale gas reserves than the U.S. and their clean energy industry has recently emerged from a major reshuffle. Looking ahead, will China ever produce enough reliable energy to be self-sufficient? What is the path to energy independence while managing the increasingly concerning air quality challenges?

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE: WHAT'S AHEAD FOR EMERGING MARKETS? Over the last decade, the majority of the growth has occurred in the so-called BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—but growth has slowed. What's the outlook for these economies and can they sustain growth? Who are the new leaders and how can multinational corporations capitalize on these increasingly important markets? Which factor is most likely to slow progress in emerging markets: a shortage of skilled workers, too much red tape and corruption, or fierce local competition?

A record 50 million Chinese traveled outside China in 2010 and hundreds of millions of locals flock to the country's top tourist hot spots throughout the year.

Presented by DuPont

VIEWPOINT: HOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS CHANGING BUSINESS
Location: Fu River
China has more than 500 million Chinese Internet users, twice the number of wired Americans. These Chinese users reportedly spend 46 minutes a day visiting social-media sites and are changing how their society does everything from viewing the news to shopping. While China's weibos are thriving, the exuberance of their American counterparts has faded. How is social media changing China and what are the new opportunities? What can Western tech companies learn from their counterparts in the East?
