Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has taken the overall strategic situation, promoted theoretical and practical innovation in opening up, established a new concept of open development, and implemented joint construction

The Belt and Road Initiative has accelerated the construction of a new open economic system, advocated the development of an open world economy, and actively participated in global economic governance.

Today's world is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment, China's economy is in a critical period of transforming the mode of development, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming the driving force of growth, and the domestic and foreign situations facing the opening up are undergoing profound and complex changes, with unprecedented opportunities, unprecedented challenges, and greater opportunities than challenges.

Internationally, economic globalization has developed in depth, and the pattern of international economic cooperation and competition has evolved at an accelerated pace.

The world economic recovery has been difficult and tortuous, and problems such as development imbalances, governance dilemmas, and equity deficits have become more prominent.

With the surging trend of "anti-globalization" and the rise of protectionism and inward-looking tendencies, the world economy and the global economic governance system have entered a period of adjustment and are facing new challenges.

The transformation of old and new drivers has become the key to the recovery and prosperity of the world economy. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is poised to start, the trend of reform and innovation is galloping forward, and new industries, new technologies and new forms of business such as artificial intelligence are emerging one after another.

At the same time, it is necessary to see the deep adjustment of the world economic pattern, the collective rise of emerging markets and developing countries, and international forces

"Rising in the East and Falling in the West",

The trend of "rising in the south and falling in the north" is more obvious. The major developed economies are trying to build a network of high-standard free trade zones for the future

"Set rules and set benchmarks" to seize the commanding heights of competition and the initiative for development. Economic globalization is the tide of the times, and the general trend of in-depth development is irreversible, but the speed may slow down, the driving force may change, and the rules may change.

The world is faced with important choices between openness and conservatism, cooperation and closure, and change and conservatism. How to seize opportunities and resolve challenges under the complex global economic situation is an important task facing China's opening up to the outside world.

From a domestic point of view, speeding up the cultivation of new competitive advantages has become the development direction of China's open economy. At present, China's per capita GDP has exceeded 8,000 US dollars, which is a development threshold.

China's labor costs continue to rise, resource constraints are becoming tighter, and the environmental carrying capacity is approaching the upper limit, so the task of accelerating the transformation of development mode, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming the growth momentum is more urgent.

How to promote the transformation of China's economy from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, so as to achieve quality, efficiency and power changes, is the main direction that must be grasped in the work of opening up.

From the perspective of China's relations with the world, profound changes are taking place in China's relations with the world, China's status and role in the international arena have been greatly enhanced, and its linkage and interaction with the international community have been unprecedentedly close.

China is a beneficiary of the world's open development and a contributor to the world's open development. As China moves closer to the center of the world stage, the international community expects China to play a greater role in international affairs and assume more responsibilities in addressing global challenges.

In the face of the complex and changeable international situation in recent years, when General Secretary Xi Jinping attended a series of multilateral summits, he repeatedly voiced China's strong voice against protectionism and support for economic globalization, which played an important role in stabilizing people's minds and enhancing confidence.

China has increasingly become a stabilizer in the chaos of the world and a positive energy in the midst of change.
