Beijing awaited us with a diverse program consisting of cultural highlights and political insights. We even had the chance to visit ChemChina, the biggest Chinese agripharmaceutical company and acquirer of Syngenta. On Saturday we enjoyed a beautiful hike on the Great Wall that gave us an idea of how impressive this construction is.
