Global Conference 2019

What's Next for the World Ahead?

Global warming and aging populations remain looming risks for which many countries are unprepared. In this conversation, Stephen Schwarzman, chairman and CEO of Blackstone Group, Joe Tsai, executive vice chairman of Alibaba Group, and C.H. Tung, vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, address these concerns and point the way forward, discussing the innovative ideas, smart policies, strong leaders, and new technologies that will bring stability to societies and markets.
