The international community positively evaluated China’s development of a higher level of open economy.
The world’s second largest economy, with foreign trade, foreign investment and foreign exchange reserves in the forefront of the world … … China’s 40 years of reform and opening up have brought earth-shaking changes to China and unprecedented opportunities to the world. "We should promote all-round opening up with a broader vision, higher goals and stronger measures, and accelerate the development of a higher-level open economy." Chairman Supreme Leader’s important speech once again declared China’s sincerity and determination to open its arms to the world and win-win results with other countries, which is of special significance to the development of the world economy.
The upcoming 2018 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia will focus on issues such as reform, opening up, innovation, globalization and the "Belt and Road" to gather strength for the steady recovery of the world economy. Foreign experts and scholars interviewed by this reporter said that a more open China will lead global open cooperation into a new realm.
"China’s great success in adhering to reform and opening up is of special significance not only to China but also to the world."
Openness brings progress, while closure is bound to lag behind. "China’s great achievements in reform and opening up are amazing. In the history of the world, no country can achieve sustained and high-speed economic development like China. " Chen Zhengyi, chairman of Thailand Taihua Newspaper Public Welfare Foundation, told this reporter.
Forty years ago, Chen Zhengyili visited China for the first time, and she was deeply impressed by the poor life of farmers. Forty years later, she came to China again, and she was amazed by her vigorous economic vitality. She said: "It is a very correct choice to improve people’s living standards and let the people live and work in peace and contentment."
"the Communist Party of China (CPC), who is far-sighted, led the industrious people of China and created remarkable development achievements. China has become the main force to promote global economic growth." Hassan javed, director of the China Research Center of Pakistani National University of Science and Technology, believes that a China that insists on opening wider to the outside world will surely release greater dividends to the world and promote new growth of the global economy.
Dr. Xurifu, a researcher at the Institute of International Relations of Mongolian Academy of Sciences, has studied the relationship between China and Mongolia-China for many years. With his own feelings and observations, he realized the great development power released by reform and opening up. "As the most populous country in the world, China’s great success in adhering to reform and opening up is of special significance not only to China but also to the world."
Xurifu said that as a neighbor of China, Mongolia has greatly benefited from China’s reform and opening up. He clearly remembers that in 1990, a serious economic crisis occurred in Mongolia, and there was a serious shortage of daily necessities and food. It was by importing daily necessities and food from China that Mongolia got through that difficult period. He also said that Mongolian citizens can enjoy visa-free treatment for 30 days in China, which provides convenience for them to go to China for business, education and medical treatment. This is a tangible benefit provided by China’s reform and opening up to Mongolia, and every Mongolian citizen has a deep understanding.
Fernando Mata, former Chilean ambassador to China, said that China has played an important role in the stability and growth of the global economy, especially in Latin America. Many Latin American countries regard China as an important opportunity for their own development. At present, China is the main export market of many Latin American countries, such as Brazil, Chile and Peru, and also the main source of investment. In recent years, China has made great progress in the field of scientific and technological innovation, and a number of high-tech enterprises have entered Latin America, which has played a great role in upgrading the level of scientific and technological industries and cultivating scientific and technological talents in Latin America.
"The construction of the Belt and Road will closely link China with the development destiny of countries and regions along the way."
The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the "Belt and Road" international cooperation should be actively promoted, and efforts should be made to achieve policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial intermediation and popular support, so as to create a new platform for international cooperation and add new impetus to common development. In recent years, the "Belt and Road Initiative", a Chinese scheme aimed at contributing wisdom to solving global development problems, is winning more and more resonance around the world.
The world still remembers that in Davos in early 2017, when protectionism was on the rise and economic globalization was facing myths and clouds, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader made a firm commitment to openness: "The door of China is always open to the world and will not be closed." Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, called it an important speech of "great historical significance" and "bringing sunshine".
Macchian, vice chairman of the British Group of 48, spoke highly of China’s determination and achievements in opening to the outside world. He said, "Now many people are worried about the future of economic globalization, because anti-globalization and anti-globalization forces are on the rise. In his speech at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader stressed the need to unswervingly develop an open world economy. China is showing the boldness and demeanor of a global power and a powerful country, and has provoked the burden of leaders. " What Mai Qi ‘an admires even more is that the China government keeps its word and does what it says. "The China government is promoting many measures to comprehensively deepen reforms. I believe this will attract and encourage more foreign investment to enter China, which is also conducive to the recovery of the world economy."
Roberdeau de Almeida, director of the Brazilian Center for International Relations Studies, said, "The Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to rebalance the process of economic globalization in Davos, emphasizing the need to create a dynamic growth model, an open and win-win cooperation model, a fair and reasonable governance model, and a balanced and inclusive development model. This is widely recognized in Brazil. Brazil needs external markets and capital and explicitly opposes protectionism. Brazil welcomes the firm opening commitment of the Chairman of the Supreme Leader. "
La Valady, deputy editor-in-chief of Brazilian newspaper Business Service, said that in recent years, cooperation between China and Latin America in the economic field has developed rapidly, forming a situation in which trade, investment and finance are diversified. Investment cooperation has become a new engine to promote economic relations between China and China. Up to now,’s investment stock in Brazil has exceeded 40 billion US dollars, among which the most representative projects, such as the investment of State Grid Corporation of China in Brazil’s power industry, have brought the world’s most advanced UHV transmission and distribution technology and management experience to Brazil.
"China’s" Government Work Report "this year on China’s further opening up and strengthening ‘ Belt and Road ’ The expression of building and strengthening win-win cooperation has undoubtedly brought greater hope to all countries, industries and people in the world who support and benefit from economic globalization. " Ma Yue, chief economist of Queensland Insurance Group, Australia, said: "When the globalization model led by the West is in crisis, China is offering the world a new globalization idea with China characteristics with its own actions. ‘ Belt and Road ’ The construction not only connects the commercial routes of countries and regions along the way to China, but also closely links China with the development destiny of countries and regions along the way. "
"Open economy is the future development direction of the world economy"
In November this year, the first China International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai to build a public platform for commodity and global trade cooperation among countries.
James Petras, a professor at new york State University, told this reporter that China’s continued opening up to the outside world and letting the world share the fruits and opportunities of China’s development is an important driving force for the recovery and development of the world economy. "Contrary to trade protectionism, China advocates an open economy, which is the future development direction of the world economy."
Former Mauritian Minister of Culture Zeng Fanxing said that China put forward the Belt and Road Initiative and promoted its implementation, supporting economic globalization with practical actions. At the same time, China’s opening wider to the outside world and speeding up its "going global" pace will also push Africa-China cooperation into a new stage.
"As a country committed to building a community of human destiny, China is willing to share the development dividend with all countries in the world." Ma Yue believes that holding China International Import Expo shows the willingness of China government to open its own market, and it is in sharp contrast with the current protectionist policies of some countries.
Xurifu said that Mongolia is a neighbor of China, and it is an opportunity for Mongolia to participate in such an exposition. Mongolia hopes to export mineral products, meat products, dairy products, cashmere products, wood and other products. Through the platform of China International Import Expo, we can find more trading partners, and Mongolia’s exports can be more diversified. "At the same time, we can introduce Mongolia to the world, attract more countries to invest in Mongolia, and promote Mongolia’s economy to achieve better development."
