At the Forum, Prof. Feng stated his view on “China’s macro trends and the path for private capital”. He also pointed out that market dominance is the only way out for China’s urbanization since the government fails to carry out the long-awaited plan. On the other hand, Prof. Zhang delivered his opinion on the topic of China’s reform and economic development from the angle of iFinance (Internet Finance) with resourceful exemplifications in history.
