China’s Premier Li to address Davos as its economy struggles

Chinese Premier Li Qiang is set to address global investors and politicians in Davos on Tuesday, as Beijing grapples with a sluggish post-pandemic recovery and a real estate slump. His speech comes as, for the first time in the four decades since China opened up to foreign investment, overseas executives have grown concerned about its long-term growth prospects. Li, who leads a large government delegation at this week's World Economic Forum, is the most senior Chinese official to rub shoulders with global business and political elites at the Swiss ski resort of Davos since President Xi Jinping in 2017.
