BEIJING, March 20 (Xinhua) -- As a major emerging market, what role will China play in trying to salvage the global economy during the upcoming Group of 20 (G20) summit?

Zhao Xijun, finance professor at the Renmin University of China, suggested that emerging economies including China, India, Brazil and Russia might take a different stand from developed economies.

To a larger extent, polar positions are forming across the world when it comes to collaborating on problem solving, said Zhao. Those positions reflect changes in global economic power.

The G20 summit, scheduled for April 1-2 in Britain, will be the second time since last November's G20 summit in Washington that leaders from the developing and developed world sit at the same table to find a solution for struggling economy.
