Forging a new consensus on the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade ministers from the 21 member economies issued a joint statement upon conclusion of their meeting last month. Will it open a "golden era" for the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP)? CGTN's Tian Wei hosts a roundtable in Beijing titled "Openness and cooperation forge a new consensus on the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific" and is joined by Ge Haijiao, chairman of Bank of China Limited; Liu Qiangdong, founder and chairman of JD.com; Brett O'Riley, managing director of the advisory company OCGL; and Marjorie Yang, chairman of Esquel Group. How can SMEs benefit from new opportunities in the region? How can an open financial system support FTAAP? And how are APEC members rethinking globalization and free trade? Take a look.

Guests:
Ge Haijiao, chairman of Bank of China Limited
Liu Qiangdong, founder and chairman of JD.com
Brett O'Riley, managing director of advisory company OCGL
Marjorie Yang, chairman of Esquel Group.
