The China Story

The China Story was a workshop commissioned by the Forum for Young Global Leaders at the World Economic Forum.

It told the story of 4 characters whose lives were all, in some way, connected to the themes of moral dilemmas in global leadership, with a focus on China.

Liu Lai Feng is the owner of Guangdong Accessories and Apparel Manufacturing, a factory in the town of Shenzhen, in the Pearl River Delta, just across the border from Hong Kong. Originally from the countryside himself, he borrowed money from his brother-in-law to start his own factory in the 1990s. About 60% of his current business comes from Snazzy Socks.
