Integrating development wisdom, promoting win-win opportunities and persisting in opening to the outside world, China has been acting.

  CCTV News:Hongqiao International Economic Forum is an important part of China International Import Expo(CIIE). Focusing on the theme of "working together to promote development, opening up and win the future", the 6th Hongqiao Forum held 10 sub-forums and seminars in succession on the afternoon of November 5th, and released the World Open Report 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the Report).

  According to the Report, in 2022, the world opening index declined compared with that in 2019 and 2021, and the world opening policy and performance remained sluggish. In recent years, the increase in the number of restrictions on international trade and the increasing restrictions on international scientific and technological exchanges have led to a decline in the global open policy index, which has increased the instability and uncertainty of world opening.

  However, the Report also pointed out that in 2022, the contribution of 78 economies to world opening increased year-on-year, and the opening up of South Asia and East Asia and the Pacific increased.

  Participants pointed out that the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China has built a new platform for international trade and investment cooperation, promoted high-level regional cooperation and explored new paths for South-South cooperation.

  As an important window of China’s opening up, the first five import fairs attracted 131 countries and international organizations to participate in the national comprehensive exhibition, which effectively enhanced the opening up of developing countries and provided high-quality international public goods for the world’s common opening up and win-win cooperation.

  CCTV reporter Du Siyuan:A series of data show that maintaining and expanding world openness requires the joint efforts of all countries in the world. The participants also said that through important channels including the Belt and Road Initiative and China International Import Expo(CIIE), China has been more proactive in opening up. China market is also becoming the market of the world, shared market and everyone’s market, injecting more positive energy into the world opening.

  "Openness": the consistent theme of the Sixth China International Import Expo(CIIE).

  It is not difficult to see from the World Open Report 2023 that at present, the momentum of world economic recovery is insufficient, and the opening up of China is helping to promote the construction of an open world economy. The consistent theme of the 6th China International Import Expo(CIIE) is "opening up", and China has been acting.

  Add a new port area in China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, accelerate the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, implement the first negative list of cross-border service trade, continuously reduce the negative list of foreign investment access, and fully implement the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. Over the past few years, these pragmatic measures to expand opening-up have been implemented one after another, and they have been effectively implemented and deepened, helping China International Import Expo(CIIE) exhibitors to invest in China and deepen their cultivation in China.
