At a recent business conference, Quan Shunji, president of the China-Asia Economic Development Association, delivered an eloquent speech without a paper script. Instead, he was aided by a pair of AR (augmented reality) glasses, highlighting China's advancements in high-tech innovation.

As the Central Economic Work Conference and the recommendations for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) have provided clear guidance for future prospects, the association will spearhead innovation and leadership in high-quality development and new quality productive forces, he said.
