Third, the basic connotation of comprehensive opening up
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that it is necessary to focus on the construction of the "Belt and Road", insist on paying equal attention to bringing in and going out, follow the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and sharing, strengthen the opening and cooperation of innovation capabilities, and form an open pattern of land and sea linkage at home and abroad, and mutual assistance between east and west. This major work deployment includes not only the expansion of the scope of opening-up, the broadening of the field, and the deepening of the level, but also the innovation of the open mode, the optimization of the layout, and the improvement of quality, which is of far-reaching strategic significance.
We should persist in taking the initiative to open up to the outside world, regard opening up as an intrinsic requirement of development, and take the initiative to expand opening up to the outside world. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The sea of the world economy, whether you want it or not, is there, and it cannot be avoided." It is impossible and inconsistent with the historical trend to artificially cut off the flow of capital, technology, products, industries, and personnel from the economies of various countries, and to let the sea of the world economy retreat into isolated small lakes and rivers. "It is necessary to accurately grasp the new trend of economic globalization and the new requirements of China's opening up to the outside world, and strive to seize the opportunity in economic globalization. The core of open development is to solve the problem of internal and external linkage of development, with the goal of improving the quality of opening up and developing a higher-level open economy. Promote reform, development and innovation with opening up, and win the initiative of economic development and international competition with the initiative of opening up to the outside world. In addition, in the face of the new situation of "one country prospering and one losing both" under the conditions of economic globalization, it is necessary to take the initiative to properly handle the relationship between opening up to the outside world and safeguarding economic security, adhere to the bottom-line thinking, pay attention to risk prevention, control and assessment, and dynamically seek a higher level of overall security in the course of expanding opening up.
Adhere to the two-way opening up, better combine bringing in and going out, and expand the space for economic development. Insisting on attaching equal importance to bringing in and going out in opening up to the outside world is an important characteristic of the development of an open economy to a higher stage, and it is also an effective way to better coordinate the two markets, two kinds of resources, and two types of rules at home and abroad. In terms of bringing in foreign investment, we should meet the requirements of accelerating the transformation of China's economic development mode, strive to improve the quality of investment, pay attention to absorbing the technological innovation ability and advanced management experience carried by international investment, and attract high-quality talents. Adhere to the simultaneous introduction of investment and technology and intelligence, and enhance the technological spillover effect and industrial upgrading effect of the use of foreign capital. In terms of going out, we will adapt to the new situation of China's opening up to the outside world from a big trading country and a big foreign investment country to a trade power and a foreign investment power, as well as the deep integration of the "three heads" of market, resources and energy, and investment, and support Chinese enterprises to expand foreign investment, promote equipment, technology, standards, and services to go global, and enhance their position in the global value chain.
Adhere to all-round opening up, and promote the formation of an open pattern of land and sea linkage at home and abroad, and mutual assistance between east and west. The pursuit of all-round opening up is inevitable to raise the level of opening up. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that China will continue to open up to the outside world in an all-round way and promote mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries in the world. The comprehensive opening up is embodied in the open space, that is, to optimize the layout of regional opening up, increase the intensity of opening up in the west, change the regional pattern of China's opening up to the outside world in the east and slow in the west, strong coastal areas and weak inland, and gradually form a new pattern of all-round opening up along the coastal and inland areas along the border division of labor, cooperation, and interactive development. Reflected in the opening measures, it is to promote the construction of the "Belt and Road", adhere to independent opening up and reciprocal opening-up, strengthen the strategic planning of going out, coordinate multi-bilateral and regional opening up and cooperation, and accelerate the implementation of the free trade zone strategy. In terms of the content of opening up, it is to greatly relax market access, further liberalize the general manufacturing industry, orderly expand the opening up of the service industry, expand the two-way opening up of the financial industry, and promote the interconnection of infrastructure. Promoting all-round opening-up also requires concerted efforts to promote strategic mutual trust, economic and trade cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges.
Adhere to fairness and openness, and build a fair competition environment for domestic and foreign investment. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that to protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investment, all enterprises registered in China must be treated equally and equally. Fairness and openness requires changing the past practice of relying on preferential policies such as land and taxation to attract investment, and providing a fair, transparent and predictable market environment for foreign-funded enterprises by strengthening the construction of the rule of law, so that all types of enterprises can use production factors on an equal footing in accordance with the law, participate in market competition fairly, and enjoy equal legal protection. Treat all market entities, including foreign-invested enterprises, fairly and justly, and strive to create an open and transparent legal and policy environment, an efficient administrative environment, and a market environment of equal competition, especially the protection of intellectual property rights.
Adhere to win-win opening-up and promote economic globalization in the direction of inclusive and win-win results. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "China's opening up to the outside world is not to sing a one-man show, but to welcome the participation of all parties; It is not to seek spheres of influence, but to support the common development of all countries; It is not to create one's own back garden, but to build a hundred gardens shared by all countries. "We must unswervingly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy of opening-up, continue to draw development momentum from the world, and let China's development better benefit the world. Win-win opening-up advocates building an open world economy, creating a broader market and development space for all countries through open development, sharing opportunities and benefits in opening up, and promoting the formation of a new pattern of win-win cooperation in which the growth of all countries promotes each other and complements each other. You can't retreat into the harbor as soon as you encounter the wind and waves, you will never reach the other side. We must unswervingly develop global free trade and investment, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation in the course of opening up, and take a clear-cut stand against protectionism. Engaging in protectionism is like locking oneself in a dark room, seemingly sheltered from the wind and rain, but also isolated from sunlight and air, and the result of a trade war can only be a lose-lose situation.
Adhere to inclusiveness and openness, and explore new ways of international development cooperation that seek common ground while reserving differences and coexist in an inclusive manner. In today's world, openness, inclusiveness, diversity and mutual learning are the main keynotes. In the great homeland of human civilization in the 21 st century, although all countries have different histories, cultures, and systems, they should all live in harmony with each other, treat each other as equals, respect each other, learn from each other, and abandon all arrogance and prejudice. Only in this way can all countries develop together and share prosperity. Our openness upholds the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, which is not closed and exclusive, but open and inclusive. It's not a solo performance from China, it's a chorus from all over the world. China advocates upholding world trade rules, supports an open, transparent, inclusive and non-discriminatory multilateral trading system, encourages the active participation and integration of all parties, refrains from exclusive arrangements, and promotes the building of an open world economy. In recent years, China has always sought the development prospects of openness, innovation, inclusiveness and mutual benefit, from the Silk Road spirit of "peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit" to the BRICS spirit of "openness, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win", and from promoting the building of a new type of international relations to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
