Summary: speaking of China's new opportunities, building the "one belt and one way" and the new China opening strategy are great opportunities and new opportunities. Building a "one belt and one road" has already opened up a super large world market. The "one belt and one way" is the market. It is a big market that promotes the world economy to a higher level and renewal stage through international cooperation, co operation and sharing. The problems in the process of economic globalization do not mean the end or reversal of economic globalization, but mean that after nearly 40 years of development, economic globalization is calling for a turning point in history. Co building "one belt and one road" is promoting economic globalization to a new stage of development.
At present, the world economy is undergoing profound readjustment, with the rise of unilateralism and trade protectionism in some countries and the surge of anti-globalization thoughts. In sharp contrast, China has held 5th anniversary symposiums to promote the "one belt and one way" construction since this year. The Qingdao summit of the Shanghai cooperation organization, the Beijing summit of the China Africa Cooperation Forum and the first China International Import fair have become an important driving force for economic globalization. Faced with the complicated international situation, how can China seize the strategic opportunity? It is necessary for us to talk about the great opportunities and opportunities for China and the world in building a big market and promoting a new round of economic globalization.
Building together the whole area is a great opportunity and new opportunity.
Speaking of China's new opportunities, building the "one belt and one way" and its new opening strategy are great opportunities and new opportunities. But why do you say that?
First of all, let's take a look at the progress made in the past 5 years to build "one belt and one road". The "one belt and one way" initiative is an open initiative and a new open strategy for China to open and develop with other countries. In the past 5 years, more than 130 countries and international organizations have signed a "one belt and one way" cooperation agreement with China. Not long ago, in the 5th anniversary Forum on promoting the construction of "one belt and one road", comrade Xi Jinping recalled the great progress made since the autumn of 2013 in putting forward the "one belt and one way" initiative. He said: in the past 5 years, the construction of the "one belt and one road" has greatly promoted the level of facilitation of trade and investment in China and promoted China's opening up. The space extends from coastal areas, along the Yangtze River to inland areas and along the border, forming a new pattern of opening up both inside and outside the sea and between East and West, and mutual trade between East and West. We have accumulated more than 5 trillion US dollars in goods trade with other countries in the "one belt and one road", and more than US $60 billion in foreign direct investment, creating about 200000 jobs for China. Capital has become an important engine to increase the growth of global foreign direct investment. From this, we can see that China's policy coordination with the "one belt and one road" related countries has achieved remarkable benefits in "1+1 > 2", and many projects have played a positive role in local development. Now, not only the developing countries are actively involved in the construction of "one belt and one road", but also the EU, the United Kingdom and Japan are willing to cooperate with China in the "third party cooperation". For China and the countries along the line, is this new opening strategy not a big opportunity or a new opportunity for all participants?
Secondly, more importantly, building a "one belt and one way" has already opened up a super large world market. In fact, China itself is a big market. This big Chinese market lies not only in stock, but also in increment. It lies in its "market power". China has a population of more than 1.3 billion, a savings balance of 176 trillion yuan, the largest middle-income group in the world and its huge consumption capacity, more than 800 million netizens and their huge impetus to the new intelligent market, as well as brand-new consumption demand stimulated by new supply, which is still developing. This "market power" exists among the people and in the growth of the new generation of labor force. It is an irresistible force with strong growth, radiation and attraction. It is also a big magnetic field that can attract new technologies all over the world. Such "market power" is the fundamental endogenous driving force for China's sustained development. That is to say, we have considerable productivity, strong national defense, unique cultural strength, unparalleled social governance, and now we have a modern market power. Under the overall leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhere to people-centered, promote the development of China's large market based on the combination of the "five major forces", which is itself a huge strategic force, has and will increasingly profoundly affect the trend of global change. At the same time, building a "one belt and one road" will also lead to a new balance in the world market. In today's world, the real economy lags behind the virtual economy, and some developing countries lag behind the world economy as a whole. It is in line with the law of world market development to build up the "one belt and one road", and drive the lagging parts of these two areas forward and move forward as far as possible to achieve a new balance. The market is not everything, but no market is impossible. We can say very clearly that "one belt and one road" is the market. It is a big market that promotes the world economy to a higher level and renewal stage through international cooperation, co operation and sharing. What is opportunity? Market is opportunity. What is great opportunity? Big market is great opportunity. What is new opportunity? New markets are new opportunities.
Once again, the prospect of building "one belt and one road" will show that China's new opening strategy will bring great opportunities and new opportunities. Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out that after 5 years of ramming bases and columns, the construction of the "one belt and one road" is moving towards a root and sustainable development stage. On the basis of maintaining healthy development momentum, we should push ahead with the transformation of "one belt and one road" to a high quality development. This is the basic requirement for the next phase to promote the construction of the "one belt and one road" work. At the same time, he also proposed that we should adhere to the general tone of steady progress, implement new development concepts, concentrate our efforts and integrate resources, focus on the construction of major projects such as infrastructure and capacity cooperation, and solve key issues such as major projects, financial support, investment environment, risk control, security and so on, so as to form more possibilities. The achievement of vision has been built up in a mountainous area and has accumulated a lot of water. What do these decisions say? It shows that our Party Central Committee is sober, that the problems have been seen, that the requirements are quite clear, that the measures are very powerful and that the future is bound to be bright.
Building a new trend of economic globalization
Speaking of China's new opportunities, we must say that building a "one belt and one way" together is promoting economic globalization to a new stage of development, and has added strong impetus to China's socialist modernization.
First of all, we estimate that the problems in the process of economic globalization do not mean the end or reversal of economic globalization, but mean that after nearly 40 years of development, economic globalization is calling for a turning point in history. What should we think of this round of economic globalization in the 70s of last century? 40 years of economic globalization, 40 years of economic development, 40 years of economic globalization, 40 years of great accumulation of problems. No one can deny that this round of economic globalization in the past 40 years has not only made great contributions to world economic development, but also has obvious shortcomings. Faced with the problem, we have two routes: one is to find the way through closed and exclusive ways under the slogan of "national priority"; the other is to push economic globalization into a new stage through the reform of international order and economic restructuring under the banner of "community of human destiny". The former route, which is even worse than the origin before the start of economic globalization, is obviously not the way out. The latter line is the right choice to solve the problems arising in the process of economic globalization and move on. That is to say, today we are facing a turning point in history. We need more courage and wisdom to welcome the arrival of the new stage of economic globalization. This is the background of our discussion on the "one belt and one way" international cooperation.
Secondly, we estimate that the "one belt and one way" initiative reflects both the requirements of the developing countries and the new requirements of the developed countries. In the past, there were also developing countries, but mainly developed countries, in the round of economic globalization. Now it is different. A large number of developing countries have become the new main body of economic globalization. At the beginning of the "one belt and one road" initiative, it was described as a transfer of excess capacity in China. Some people call it the Chinese version of the Marshall plan. Some people say that it is Neo colonialism. All these remarks are based on old thinking, and the essence of the "one belt and one way" initiative is economic globalization. It is a strategic concept that conforms to the trend of economic globalization in the new stage.
Thirdly, we also estimate that from the perspective of global economic governance, the international economic order is also facing a new round of deep adjustment and reconstruction. In retrospect of history, China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has opened up a situation through efforts and costs in the process of reform and opening up, making China achieve leapfrog development in the process of peaceful development and become the second largest economy in the world. Today, we are an important member of WTO and have never been divorced from WTO. Now, some countries have proposed to modify the WTO rules. The World Trade system, especially the WTO, which began after the Second World War, does have some problems that need to be reformed. Now that we need to reform, China will never be passive, nor can it be excluded. Today, China is nurturing the world's largest and best market, forming a modern market power, which will make a positive contribution to promoting the formation of a global "market consortium", that is, the upgraded WTO. It can be said that further development and promotion of our "big market" and the gradual formation of a wider "market consortium" within the framework of the upgraded WTO will enable China to seize new historical opportunities and build independently in the process of further linking with economic globalization rather than being separated from it. Set up socialism with Chinese characteristics and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
It should be emphasized that the overall international situation will remain "dual" development with a view to grasping the prospects: the trend of economic globalization and world multi-polarization will become more obvious, the common peaceful development of developing countries and the re-development of developed countries will lead to a more balanced international power balance, which is on the one hand; on the other hand, the geopolitical turmoil. Conflicts in various forms, including those caused by the spread of populism and hegemonism in international relations, will also be unavoidable. Sufficient mental preparation for the development of "duality" under this new situation will be an essential spiritual condition for the success of our cause.
Facing the complicated international situation, we should make two points clear. First, we have a new concept of international relations based on the "big market" of the community of human interests and the community of human destiny. The resulting "attraction" is a powerful fighting force to overcome "difficulties". Secondly, we have the tradition of "enduring war" in difficult and complex situations. The resulting "endurance" is another powerful fighting force to overcome difficulties and win. One is "attraction" and the other is "endurance". The combination of the two "forces" brings the greatest opportunity for China's sustainable development.
