Between the 14th and the 16th of October 2018, the Horasis China Meeting took place in Kyiv, Ukraine. It was co-hosted by the China Federation of Industrial Economics.

Joël Ruet intervened in a panel entitled “Understanding China’s Future Plans”. He insisted on the importance of know-how transfer for local development, rather than simply foreign investment, and argued that China’s belt and road initiative led to a growing attraction of national and foreign talents.
