The report points out that the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has played a stabilizing role in the current turbulent world.

Jointly building the "the Belt and Road" has enhanced trust among countries, which is an extremely important international contribution.
The report points out that the tariff war initiated by the United States has dragged down the world economy.
