He pointed out that fintech is a force that can transform the world, and it develops and renovates continuously amid social changes. Through broader and deeper spreading and application, it facilitates the generation of new formats, dynamics, and ecologies. Yet, a significant proposition we should ponder is precisely how to see the trend of the times and follow it. Mr. Peng Zhao, chief of the Economics Branch of Higher Education Press, addressed behalf of the co-organizers.
