In 2007, the WEF established the Annual Meeting of the New Champions (also known as the ‘Summer Davos’) in China. The meeting is held alternately in Tianjin and Dalian. From 2007 to 2012, the then Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao delivered opening speeches at every Summer Davos Forum and answered questions at its Meeting with Entrepreneurs session. The Chinese University Press has published Meeting the Challenges: A Historical Record of China’s Development , a collection of speeches by Premier Wen at the WEF events. From 2007 to 2012, China and the world experienced the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the resulting upheaval in global markets, the impact of China’s wide-ranging stimulus package in response to the crisis, and the gradual recovery of world economy. In addition to economic issues, Premier Wen’s speeches also covered the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China, the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami and the resulting Fukushima nuclear crisis in Japan. He also talked about China’s political reform in 2011 in a discussion with a select group of participants, stressing the need to uphold judicial justice, the right to vote, the fight against corruption, etc. These issues are still the main concerns of many people in Hong Kong and China. His speeches also show China’s increasing emphasis on saving resources and protecting the eco-environment while pursuing economic development. These are unfulfilled commitments as reflected by the fact that smog-choked cities with alarming high levels of PM2.5 particulate matter have become commonplace in China. Nevertheless, these speeches can be seen as a lens through which readers may better understand the economic ups and downs in China and the world. With both Chinese and English versions, the book will prove valuable to researchers of relevant topics in China and elsewhere. 《應對挑戰：中國發展的歷史紀錄》 編著：世界經濟論壇 出版：中文大學出版社 年份：2014年 Meeting the Challenges: A Historical Record of China’s Development Editor: World Economic Forum Publisher: The Chinese University Press Year: 2014 1965年5月，中大與美國加州大學 簽署交換計劃協議書，並於同年9月 起實施。在此計劃下，獲選的中大學 生、畢業生、教職員可於加州大學任 何分校免費攻讀學位，而訪問加州 大學的教職員可使用研究設備及其 他一切設施。與此同時，加州大學於 1965至66年度自費派遣教師兩人、 研究生四人到中大，擔任教學及研 究工作；另有本科生五人來校修讀 歷史、藝術、社會學及數學。加州大 學交換計劃是中大最早簽訂的學生 交流協議，該協議書現於大學展覽 廳展出。 1965年8月26日，中大假座大會堂劇院舉行儀式，紀念中大與加州大學成立 學術合作協定，李卓敏校長於儀式上致辭 Dr. Li Choh-ming, CUHK Vice-Chancellor, speaks at a ceremony held on 26 August 1965 at the City Hall Theatre to mark the inauguration of the cooperative programme between CUHK and the University of California The Chinese University signed an exchange agreement with the University of California in May 1965.

The University of California also made its research and office facilities available to visiting faculty members from CUHK. And in the academic year 1965–66, two professors and four graduates from the University of California visited CUHK to teach and supervise research.
