TIANJIN, China, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Yuki Wei, Vice President of TCL Technology and Chairman of the TCL Charity Foundation, spoke at a roundtable discussion titled “Restoring the Natural Ecosystem” on June 27, as part of the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum, also known as “2023 Summer Davos Forum”.

With stronger global partnerships, advances in technology, and increased public awareness, I’m confident in the future of our Earth.”
