During today's speech, I am impressed by President Xi Jinping's emphasis on financial connectivity and building a digital Silk Road. The Belt and Road Initiative provides a unified and strategic framework for Chinese companies going overseas. It lays out a clear action plan and stresses key principles such as peace and prosperity during development. It would boost opportunities for us, a financial technology firm that is expanding in Southeast Asia and Europe.
