Criticism is typical of vibrant international media. Yet, prejudiced biases in financial matters have the potential to harm investors worldwide. The Chinese bond market is a case in point. Not only is China’s bond market growing explosively, but it has become diversified and provides broad investment options to both Chinese and foreign investors.

The escalating rivalry between Alibaba and Tencent and the two firms’ anti-competitive tactics appear to have drawn little regulatory scrutiny from the government. That may be in part because the Chinese government is so eager to grow its domestic tech sector that it is reluctant to interfere with two of its most successful firms.

The development and application of innovative new financial technology, or “fintech,” is upending traditional ways of banking and financing, and beginning to transform how businesses, industries and individuals interact. But beyond the multi-million-dollar headline-grabbing investments and acquisitions, what does fintech actually mean for the people of China and the United States?

If China’s moves towards financial opening did not soften the U.S. administration’s stance toward China after President Trump’s visit last year, why would this year’s Boao Forum speech, containing mostly old ideas, be any different?
