Peter Morgan, associate dean of the Business School of the University of Nottingham Ningbo, said he witnessed how the Chinese people, under the guidance of the CPC, took prompt action to deal with the novel coronavirus after he flew back to China from the United Kingdom last year, finally making it on a third flight after two previous flights were cancelled.

"I witnessed that China had become one of the safest places to be," he said, noting that the Party is accountable to the people of China and dedicated to their needs.

Launched in 2018 by China Daily, Vision China invites political, business and academic speakers to tell China's story from a global perspective and discuss major China-related topics of international interest. Prior to this event, the talks had been held 19 times in places like Beijing, New York and London.
