In the keynote session, Hai Wen, former vice president of Peking University and founding dean of HSBC Business School, pointed out that we are facing new challenges represented by "pursuing quality of life, promoting industrial upgrading and improving international relations". Only by relying on the thinking of "demand drives economy, market determines industry and national social responsibility" can we stimulate new strategies needed for social development and progress. In his view, relying on private enterprises, innovating merger and development to enhance the scale effect, and emphasizing the equivalence of rules in international relations are all optional strategic items.

Based on the investigation and analysis of macro data, Color, doctoral supervisor of Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, and deputy director of Institute of Policy and Economics, expounded her views on China and the global economy in 2024, holding that residents’ consumption will be disturbed by confidence, income and wealth, and they are still in a weak repair path, effectively increasing the income of low-income groups, so as to realize a virtuous circle of mutual promotion of consumption and investment and help ensure the economic growth rate within a reasonable range. "In the long run, promoting scientific and technological innovation is the fundamental way to solve problems. It is necessary to conduct large-scale investment and financing in industries such as new energy, artificial intelligence, big data, big health, and big country industry, and increase investment in basic scientific research.

Yao Yang, Dean of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, Director of China Economic Research Center and Executive Dean of South-South Cooperation and Development College, discussed new ideas for judging China’s economic trend from the policy perspective of the Central Economic Work Conference. He believes that China’s economy has great growth potential in the long run. Corrective measures such as reducing economic dependence on real estate and debt will improve the economic, social and political health of China, but there is no denying the short-term impact on the economy. He predicted that stabilizing real estate will remain one of the key economic tasks in 2024, and how to strike a balance between growth and adjustment will be the key point of the policy.

Sun Huaiqing believes that "the old boat ticket can’t get on the new boat", and it is possible to get new growth by giving up the old thinking; You Liefeng got the inspiration of enterprise management from farmers’ cultivation — — It is a simple and common truth to "do not complain about others and actively plan and manage". Zhang Ying, deputy dean of Guanghua School of Management of Peking University and director of the Management Case Study Center, responded that it is the first step to "abandon the thinking of carving a boat and seeking a sword, and don’t always think about returning to 2018 and 2019". Wang Pengfei, president of peking university hsbc school of business, pointed out that the change of tax rate has little to do with economic growth, but high uncertainty will lead to low growth, and easing uncertainty through policies, broadening consumption scenarios and improving the level of service industry will all contribute to economic growth.
