一千七百人聚在大连：今年的夏季达沃斯，世界在担心什么、期待什么？
1,700 People Gather in Dalian: At This Year's Summer Davos, What Does the World Fear and Hope For?
HSK 3 Chinese listening practice. Summer Davos 2026 in Dalian explained: what the Annual Meeting of the New Champions is, this year's theme 'Innovating at Scale', and the big debates — AI assistants, humanoid robots, the 'one-person company', AI's risks, and China's economy.
This is an HSK 3-4 Chinese listening episode that runs about 5 minutes. The full Mandarin script is shown with tap-for-pinyin and a line-by-line English translation, so you can listen and read at once — comprehensible input in the sense of Stephen Krashen's i+1 theory. It teaches 14 key vocabulary words such as 国际会议、跨国、学者 and walks through 7 grammar patterns, each explained in English with examples. The same news story is retold at 4 difficulty levels — use the level selector above to find the version that is challenging but still understandable for you.
