-- The address on 2017 Industrial Economy Frontier Forum

Distinguished Academician Tong, Academician Yang, Professor Cao, leaders, teachers and colleagues:

Good afternoon, everybody! I'm very happy to return to alma mater to attend the forum. First, as a member of oneco-organizers, I, on behalf of Green Legal Global Alliance, was glad to express my congratulations to the successful convening of the forum and the establishment of Xiatang Boya Association. I respect and admire that the forum is positioned on "industrial economic development frontier" and focuses on the topic of"future economy · future era · future people"which concerns national development, economic operation, social progress, each of our market subjects and even individuals, involving considerations from macro, medium and micro levels. A forum like this will surely yield plentiful fruits with a double meaning of theory and practice. It is my great honor to witness the process of it and listen to the insights of all leaders and experts. Meanwhile, I'd like to salute the innovations and contributions on the synthesis of theory and practice, the interaction of colleges and universities with local governments, the fusion of industry and capitals and other respects in the fields such as cross-border development and smart city building made by the Institute of Digital China under the guidance of Academician Tong and Academician Yang .

Green Legal Global Alliance,with Beijing Docvit Law Firm and many other institutions from various industries as its major sponsored units, is a cross-border alliance which focuses on the fusion of law with other industries, emphasizes medium view and professional elements, concerns industrial policy and industry pain points. It sets research institute and many sub-alliances and now has over 200 member units. We hope and always devote ourselves to building a green and three-dimensional legal ecosphere  studying frontier issues, holding theme forums and salon seminars, developing system curriculum, building Internet platformand database and so on. 

I'm a layman in economics and industrial development. But today, I'd like to talk about a few of my views on law and cross-border as an ordinary person for all of your sentiments. 

The first aspect is about industrial economic development. Besides the consideration of economics, I superficially believe that there are some factors cannot be ignore. First is the overall trends of global economy development; second is the development and changes of national governance method; third is the subversion on industries by the effect of science and technology revolution, and the fourth is strength of non-economic factors such as law, societyand culture. All these factors will make a great difference to industry environment, policy, trend and space, etc. We should consider comprehensively when judging frontier trends of industries. It is a profound science and we expected the enlightened views from you allto bring inspirations and impacts to us.

The second aspect is about what roles an platform or a institution like allience can play with the tide of industrial economic development. In my opinion, , it can be used as… first, a think-tank platform, second,a research-based platform, third, a communication platform, fourth, a cooperative platform and last, investment platform, or surely be used as a complex of all above. Anyway, affiliative institutions have a brilliant future in many aspects of industry research, industrial development, cross-border discussion, economical participation and so on We believe and expect that  the Xiatang Boya Association launched by the sponsor surely will set the example in such aspect. Of course, we will also diligently strive on the road of Green Legal Global Alliance. I hope we can have more opportunities to study, discuss and cooperate.

The third aspect is about the relation between law and economy. How to understand the function of law in the process of economic development? This is an interesting topic. Our legal service is influenced a lot by economic development and industrial reform because of a quite close relation with social economy What our education and experience told us is that law is the superstructure while industry is the economic base. The economic base determines superstructure and also, the superstructure reacts to economic base. But, what we learn from practice is that the relation between economy and law is not so simple or so sure as we considered. The form, angle and degree of its presentation are different as well. But, there's one thing we are more and more convinced, which is to say, the law is lagging behind economic development in all time. But the economy development will be hindered if the development of law excessively lagging behind which of economy This is mainly reflected in legislation. The idea and technique of legislation reflect to some extent the gradation and level of the state governing economic society. Besides, lawyers must follow steadily the pace of economic development to make their services industrialized and field-divided. And a lawyer should be the reader of economic operation, the participant of economic rules, the co-creator of business mode, the designer of legal program and the implementor of customer's benefits, to develop non-standard service products, update service system and optimize service mechanism. Only in this way, can we possess the ability to talk with economists and entrepreneurs, the basis for cooperation and the real existence value. I sincerely hope to seek advice from you all and discuss these issues with you all.

At last, I sincerely wish this forum a complete success!

Thank you very much!
