Western economic strength has been sustained by the ability of businesses, large and small, to invent, innovate and drive growth through entrepreneurial endeavour. While the most recent global financial and economic crisis has had a greater negative impact on developed economies in the West, sustainable recovery will ultimately be shaped by the entrepreneurial spirit from businesses of all sizes. Entrepreneurship is not the perserve of the West, it also drives fast-growing and ambitious companies in Asia. Just as Japanese companies expanded globally in the 1980s, Chinese companies have been looking to "go global" as Western economies slowly recover.

This panel will look at this phenomenon of Eastern entrepreneurship and the drive of companies in China and Asia to expand globally. The panel will consider the opportunities and challenges facing Asian companies and economies, and also the role of state policy and state agencies - such as sovereign wealth funds - in driving Asian companies' global expansion. The implications of this expansion for Western economies will be consider, including the balance and distribution of wealth between East and West.

西方经济实力来自持续的商业能力，不论企业大小，通过发明创新努力推动经济增长。

随着近期全球金融和经济危机已经对西方的经济发展造成了负面影响。经济的持续复苏最终的形式将引发各种规模的企业的创业。创业不仅不是西方的保护伞，还增强了亚洲企业快速发展的野心。正如日本企业在20世纪80年代全球范围内增长。在西方经济慢慢复苏的时候，中国企业一直在寻找"走出去"的机会。

本座谈小组将讨论东方企业的创业以及在中国及亚洲企业在全球范围内扩张的现象。这个座谈小组将讨论面向亚洲企业和经济的机遇与挑战以及国家政策和国家机构的角色。例如：主权财富基金 - 推动亚洲企业的全球扩张。该扩张对西方经济的影响，将会讨论包括资产和东西方的财富分配问题。

For over five hundred years the international order has been shaped by the overwhelming military and economic superiority of the West. But the world is not static. Nothing lasts for ever under conditions of globalization; and since the turn of the new century, economists like Danny Quah and Jim O'Neill, and geopolitical thinkers such as Niall Ferguson and Paul Kennedy, have begun to rethink the future shape of the world order. Their conclusions are as intellectually arresting as they are globally significant: the old western world - they argue - is fast losing its privileged position as new actors, most notably but not only in Asia, begin to assert themselves. As a result, one of the greatest power shifts in history is underway with consequences that could prove to be as critical to international affairs in the 21st century as the final triumph of Europe was in the nineteenth, and America's in the twentieth.

This panel will discuss these power shifts, and the implications for the stability of the international system, looking closely at China's new power, the constraints on this power and the uncertainties that exist, even within China, over what the country's foreign affairs aims ought to be.

在过去的五百年里，国际秩序已经形成，西方国家在军事以及经济方面有压倒性的优势。

但世界不是一成不变的。没有什么在全球化条件下可以持久不变。自从新世纪之交开始，经济就像丹尼柯和吉姆奥尼尔以及诸如尼尔弗格森和保罗肯尼迪的地缘政治思想家一样开始重新思考世界秩序的格局。他们的结论有全球化的重大意义：老的西方世界- 他们争论 – 作为新的参与者他们正在迅速失去其特权地位，亚洲开始崭露头角。历史中最伟大的权利转变正在进行着，二十一世纪国际事物鉴定可以证明这个结论。欧洲最后的胜利是在十九世纪，而美国是在二十世纪的。

本座谈小组将讨论这些权利的转变，以及对国际体系稳定性的影响。近距离探索中国的新的权利，以及在这个权利上存在哪些不确定性。
