China is suffering from deflation, devaluation, capital flight and the loss of foreign investment — all at the same time. Unprecedented, far worse than "Japanification."

DAVOS, Switzerland — US President Donald Trump said his government looks forward to "doing very well with China and getting along with China" during a virtual address delivered to the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday.

In his speech at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang highlighted the constancy of China's commitment to multilateralism by recalling a similar message that President Xi delivered to the same event eight years ago.

The president of the World Economic Forum (WEF) expressed optimism about China's economic prospects, citing the country's strong resilience and medium- to long-term potential, during an interview in Davos,

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke with new U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday and Beijing said he told the known China hawk that the direction and tone of U.S.-China ties had been set by their leaders and he hoped Rubio would play a constructive role for the good of the people of both countries.

It’s become something of a cliché for delegates at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting to quiz each other about “the mood in Davos”. The nearly 3,000 political leaders, executives, financiers, and policymakers who descended on the Swiss mountain resort last week offered differing answers to that theme.

Ding Xuexiang also tells Davos that Beijing isn’t pursuing a trade surplus and there are ‘no winners in a trade war’.

Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the WEF, said, "Despite divergent positions and great uncertainties, the annual meeting will foster a spirit of cooperation and constructive optimism with the objective of shaping the forthcoming intelligent age in a more sustainable and inclusive way."

In his first foreign policy speech, to the World Economic Forum, Mr Trump emphasised his willingness to work with Beijing. He spoke warmly of Xi Jinping, the Chinese premier, telling the assembled business leaders and politicians in Davos that the two men had a “very good” relationship and he looked forward to “getting along with China”.

Questions abound over how Trump will deal with China and Russia, as well as India and emerging powers in the global South. U.S. foreign policy is headed into a period of uncertainty, even if Trump’s first term provides a stark reference point for how he might manage the United States’ role in the world in the coming years.
