The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China mentioned the word "openness" many times. The report proposes to promote high-level opening up to the outside world, steadily expand institutional opening up such as rules, regulations, management, and standards, accelerate the construction of a trade power, promote the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" high-quality development, and maintain diversified and stable international economic pattern and economic and trade relations.
's opening to the outside world has become a distinctive symbol of contemporary China and has always attracted high attention from countries around the world. From the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to "comprehensively improving the level of open economy", to the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to "promote the formation of a new pattern of comprehensive opening up", to the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to "promote high-level opening up", it fully demonstrates that my country's opening up to the outside world has been consistent and has been constantly advancing to a larger scope, deeper level, and more fields.
In 2012, my country's total trade in goods + services reached US$4.4 trillion; by 2021, it has grown to US$6.9 trillion, the world's first for two consecutive years. my country has become the main trading partner of more than 140 countries and regions, and has been ranked first in the world's largest country in goods trade for five consecutive years. In 2021, China's total import and export volume has crossed the two major marks of 5 trillion and 6 trillion US dollars, reaching a historical high; there is almost no suspense that the total foreign trade volume has hit a new record high this year.
From proposing the concept of " building a community with a shared future for mankind, " to co-constructing the "Belt and Road" with high quality; from initiating the establishment of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank , to overcoming many difficulties to hold the CIIE and the China Trade Fair... It can be said that because of the high-level opening up, my country's position as the world's largest country in goods trade has been continuously consolidated, and my country continues to become the main driving force and engine for global trade development.
needs to be clarified that China's insistence on high-level opening up is not passive, but active choice. Whether it joins the " Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement " or signs 19 free trade agreements with 26 countries and regions, it shows that my country's expansion of opening up is broad and profound, and it is determined and sincere to embrace the world.
insists on high-level opening up, and China is the direct beneficiary, and the international community is also constantly sharing China's development opportunities. Taking the "Belt and Road" as an example, from the Eurasian continent to Africa, America, and Oceania , the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has opened up new space for world economic growth, built a new platform for international trade and investment, expanded new practices for improving global economic governance, and made new contributions to improving people's livelihood and welfare in various countries, becoming a common road of opportunity and prosperity.
Under the influence of multiple factors such as the epidemic, the escalation of tensions in geopolitical , and the obstruction of the industrial chain and supply chain, from January to August this year, my country still achieved actual utilization of foreign capital of 892.74 billion yuan, and increased by 16.4% year-on-year. "Some people think that China wants to be self-sufficiency, which is a misunderstanding." "In the future, China's door to opening up will only open wider and wider." At the first press conference of the Twenty National Development and Reform Commission, Zhao Chenxin, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, sent a warm invitation to the world.
"Institutional Openness" was written into the Party Congress report for the first time. It is not only because my country has basically met the conditions and environment for institutional openness, but also an important step for my country to continuously optimize its business environment, align with the world's advanced rules and regulations, and promote the "going out" of China's management, Chinese standards and Chinese wisdom that have been proven to be effective by practice. This is a national strategic arrangement with a higher goal, a responsibility of a major country that leads the trend of the times, and a solid action that is steadily and steadily.
In more than ten days, the fifth CIIE will be held in Shanghai. The "golden key" of the CIIE is not only China's, but also the world's. It is a pragmatic measure for China to promote a new round of high-level opening up to the outside world, and it is also a "chorus" for various countries to adapt to the trend of the economic globalization era. At present, enterprises and exhibitors from all over the world are ready to show their skills on the stage of the 5th CIIE.
At present, the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century. "No matter how the world changes, China's determination and will to open up will never be shaken." The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China's deployment to promote high-level opening up and once again convey China's confidence and attitude to the world will surely inject strong impetus and positive energy into the sustained recovery of the world economy.
