The world's second-largest economy reported just 3 percent GDP growth in the fourth quarter, a number that's the lowest in decades besides the first year of the pandemic. And, this week's World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland is underway and tackling global issues in an age of increasing fractiousness among world powers.
