Int'l guests explore China's future, history in Shanghai

International journalists, experts, and scholars gathered in Shanghai this week for the Hong Ting Forum themed "The Enduring Governance of a Century-Old Party: The Role of Soft Power."

Beyond forum sessions, they stepped out of conference venues to explore the city. The immersive city tour allowed them to experience China's cutting-edge innovations, and to learn about the country's progress and the century-long development history of the Communist Party of China.
