In yet another sign of China’s rise, Chinese delegates are now invited to the super-secret and super-elite Bilderberg Conference in 2011.

The two Chinese attendees of the conference were Ying Fu (Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs) and Huang Yiping (Professor at Beijing University).

Ying, an ethnic Mongol, is an influential player in China’s foreign policy. She was previously the ambassador to the UK and to Australia.

Huang is a professor at Peking University (China’s Harvard) who has a visible profile in the West. Ahead of last year’s G20 Summit, he famously warned the US back off calls for China to revalue the yuan.

Besides China, Russia and Turkey were the two emerging market countries that were represented. Bilderberg, true to its origins as a club to promote Atlanticism, was dominated by Americans and Europeans.

Europe was grossly overrepresented there. Finland, the 36th largest economy in the world, had four delegates. Greece, the nearly bankrupt southern European country, also had four delegates.

Countries represented at the conference are Belgium, Germany, UK, US, Finland, Portugal, France, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Canada, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Denmark, China, Ireland, Russia, and Norway.

The Bilderberg Conference is a meeting of the West’s elites. Although no official policy is decided there, the discussions that take place sets the tone for many issues once the delegates leave the meeting.

One of the perennial attendees of the conference is Henry Kissinger.

The official agenda of Bilderberg 2011, which Kissinger attended, was the following:

Challenges for Growth: Innovation and Budgetary Discipline, the Euro and Challenges for the European Union, the role of Emerging Economies, Social Networks: Connectivity and Security Issues, New Challenges in the Middle East, Conflict Areas, Demographic Challenges, China, Switzerland: Can it remain successful in the future?
