The Forum was chaired by media entrepreneur and talk show hostess Yang Lan. Around 150 people attended with hundreds more participating through live streaming. Forum organiser and Director of the Cambridge MBA and Executive MBA, Simon Learmount, said: “We were delighted to hold our first Cambridge-Beijing Forum among so many friends this week and we are determined to make this the start of a long and fruitful partnership. Cambridge and Shenzhen, in particular, are so similar and have so much to learn from each other that it will benefit both cities to work together for the good of both the Chinese and UK economies. Wang Shi said that ‘understanding China via a Chinese perspective is the distinguishing characteristic of Cambridge Judge' and we intend to make this the guiding principle of our relationship.” The live blog Cambridge Judge Business School kept up a steady stream of live updates as the Forum progressed, presented in both English and 官话 Please note this is static record of the live blog from the event on 25 March 2014 and is no longer updated.
