The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) convened its annual conference entirely offline in Boao, a coastal town in China’s southern island province of Hainan, on March 28-31. Wang Sheng, President of the National Institute for South China Sea Studies (NISCSS) in Hainan, participated in creating the BFA in 2001 and has since been part of its many activities. In an exclusive interview with An Xinzhu, a reporter with the China International Communications Group Center for the Americas (CICG Americas), Wang shared his experiences with the BFA as well as his views on Hainan’s development. Edited excerpts from their conversation follow.
