Opening up China to empower the global effect is becoming more prominent (harmony)

The new plan for the opening year of the 15th Five Year Plan has enriched the connotation of China's high-level opening-up. China will always be committed to working hand in hand with countries around the world to expand and share the "cake" of economic globalization, complementing each other's strengths and opportunities in open development, and achieving common development and mutual success in the integration of interests

On March 5th, General Secretary Xi Jinping participated in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, once again releasing the strong voice of openness, and the international community felt China's determination and confidence in leading open cooperation by expanding high-level opening up to the outside world, extensively exploring global markets, and better connecting international circulation.

Looking at the world today, unilateralism and protectionism are rampant, seriously impacting global development. The World Economic Forum's "2026 Global Cooperation Barometer" warns that the level of global cooperation is still insufficient to address major economic, security, and environmental challenges. In this situation, all parties attach greater importance to the signal of openness conveyed by the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This marks that China will continue to promote globalization. The National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference have brought clearer direction coordinates for opening up China. International public opinion generally expects China to add positive energy to global development through more inclusive and dynamic openness and sharing.

Going against the tide and breaking through the waves, it shows the responsibility of a great power. In the past year, facing the increasingly strong headwinds of protectionism, China has opened its doors wider and wider. More diverse partners have achieved growth in imports and exports with over 190 countries and regions, and the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises has increased by 19.1%; 'Made in China' is a global bestseller, with high-tech product exports increasing by 13.2% and 'New Three' exports increasing by 27.1%; Knowledge intensive service trade continues to grow, and travel service exports are growing rapidly; The number of inbound tourists increased by 17.1%, and the convenience of visa free travel has made "China tourism" a global hotspot. In the efficient flow of logistics, people, and information, China shares development opportunities with the world.

Upon closer inspection of the results report, it is evident that institutional openness has steadily expanded and significantly improved the quality of openness. A series of measures have been taken to effectively promote the construction of a new system of open economy at a higher level, from the launch of the island wide closure operation of Hainan Free Trade Port to the promotion of the institutional opening-up level of the free trade pilot zone. A market-oriented, rule of law, and international business environment, as well as a transparent, stable, and predictable institutional environment, are important factors that attract foreign companies and investors to cast a firm vote of trust in China. According to a recent report by accounting firm KPMG, 94% of multinational corporations will continue to invest and bet on the Chinese market.

The effect of opening up China to empower the world is becoming increasingly prominent. A national level "exhibition matrix" has been formed, including the China International Import Expo, Canton Fair, China International Fair for Trade in Services, and China International Consumer Fair, to meet global demand and facilitate cooperation channels. High quality co construction of the "the Belt and Road" has gone deep and solid: Kenya's "African Silicon Valley" has sprung up, which will accelerate the local digital transformation after completion; The teaching standards of the Nicaragua Luban Workshop have been incorporated into its national vocational education system and are being shared and applied nationwide; The localized talent training of China Laos Railway has achieved remarkable results, with local employees accounting for more than 67% in Laos section... "hard connectivity", "soft connectivity" and "heart connectivity" go hand in hand, comprehensively improve the quality and efficiency of practical cooperation, and inject vigor into common development.

The new plan for the opening year of the 15th Five Year Plan has enriched the connotation of China's high-level opening-up. China will continue to make efforts in such areas as actively expanding independent opening up, promoting stable scale and excellent structure of foreign trade, expanding two-way investment cooperation, and jointly building the "the Belt and Road" with high quality. A series of specific measures will be taken to further expand the pilot opening of value-added telecommunications, biotechnology, wholly foreign-owned hospitals and other fields, guide enterprises to optimize their global market layout, promote the expansion and upgrading of cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouse models, and promote standardized and orderly development, and deepen the 'Smart Customs' partnership plan, forging closer ties of open cooperation. China's opening up will continue to have strong momentum, with practical implementation and deep roots.

Making the fruits of open development more accessible and equitable to people of all countries is China's unwavering pursuit. Faced with the impact of hegemonic actions on international cooperation and the continuous decline of the world openness index, China firmly chooses to uphold multilateralism and open cooperation, maintain and develop an open world economy, and will always be an oasis of certainty in a turbulent world. Entering the 15th Five Year Plan, China will promote the signing of more regional and bilateral trade and investment agreements, actively promote the process of joining the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership. Under the new situation, China firmly upholds the multilateral trading system, fully and deeply participates in the reform of the World Trade Organization, and is willing to work together with all parties to promote an equal and orderly world multipolarity, inclusive and inclusive economic globalization.

It is impossible and against the historical trend to retreat the ocean of the world economy into isolated small lakes and rivers. China will always be committed to working together with countries around the world to expand and share the "cake" of economic globalization, complementing each other's advantages and sharing opportunities in open development, and achieving common development and mutual success in the integration of interests.
