High-level opening up is a powerful driving force for high-quality development. Promoting reform and development through opening up is an important magic weapon for my country's development to continuously achieve new achievements.
The "Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Recommendations") issued on October 28 proposed to expand high-level opening up to the outside world and create a new situation of win-win cooperation.
In order to deeply interpret the core connotation and far-reaching significance of this strategic task, Wang Zhimin, researcher at the National Institute of Opening-up at the w88 casino and director of the Institute of Globalization and Chinese Modernization, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from China Business News and analyzed the four core connotations of "expanding high-level opening up". It analyzes its role in promoting industrial chain upgrading and scientific and technological self-reliance under the new development pattern. Focusing on the new 10-year construction of the "Belt and Road", it explains how the "five links" measures such as policy communication and facility connectivity can enhance economic resilience, and the seven key roles of high-level opening up to expand space for Chinese-style modernization and integrate into global governance.
Expand high-level opening up
"China Business News": How to understand the core connotation of "expanding high-level opening up" under the current situation?
Wang Zhimin:The core connotation of "expanding high-level opening up" mainly includes four aspects: First, persist in promoting high-level opening up, comprehensively promote Chinese-style modernization with high-quality economic development, realize high-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing in China, obtain new opportunities in international cooperation through high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road", RCEP, and further promote the Asia-Pacific Free w88 Area, achieve mutual benefit and win-win in international cooperation, and promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The second is to promote reform, development and innovation through opening up, accelerate self-reliance and self-reliance in high-level science and technology, and strengthen original innovation and key core technology research with new quality productivity as the guide. In particular, we must seize the historical opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, improve the overall effectiveness of the national innovation system, seize the commanding heights of scientific and technological development, and be at the forefront of new international tracks including "artificial intelligence +".
The third is to make full use of the international division of labor between domestic and international resources and the two markets in the context of the new development pattern to build a "we-centered" industrial chain and supply chain system, while achieving linked development while promoting my country to the commanding heights of the global science and technology landscape, and promoting the upgrading of my country's industrial structure to a high level.
Fourth, on the basis of further deepening reforms, we will promote my country’s socialist market economic system to be more complete, high-level opening-up systems and mechanisms to be more complete, and institutional-based opening up to promote institutional-based cooperation. This will promote the deep integration of the education chain, innovation chain, talent chain, and industrial chain, and create new momentum and new advantages that support industrial development.
"China Business News": The expression "expanding high-level opening up to the outside world" has risen to seventh place in the "Recommendations". What is the profound meaning?
Wang Zhimin:This shows that my country's high-level opening up has achieved certain results in the past five years, and its importance in my country's economic and social development has become increasingly prominent. At present, our country is working hard to build a new development pattern of dual circulation, with domestic and international dual circulation reinforcing each other. Over the years, our country has been correct in adhering to the policy of opening up to promote reform, development, and innovation. The door to opening up will not only not be closed, but will open wider and wider.
This change in ranking also indicates that in the next five years or more, my country's high-level opening up will be more proactive and proactive, and the intensity of opening up will not weaken, but will further increase. The country's emphasis on opening up to the outside world will be significantly increased, and it is necessary to strengthen the top-level design of opening up to the outside world and promote opening up from passively following to actively going overseas.
"China Business News": How is "steadily expanding institutional opening up" fundamentally different from previous opening models?
Wang Zhimin: Institutional opening has become an important part of opening to the outside world. Opening to the outside world has shifted from development orientation to equal emphasis on development and rules. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that institutional opening such as rules, regulations, management, and standards should be steadily expanded. In the future, we will actively promote the integration of domestic and international rules, promote the domestication of international rules and the internationalization of domestic rules, and achieve mechanism linkage and innovation of global governance system rules.
my country’s past opening-up has been in various aspects such as “all-round”, “multi-level” and “wide-area”: “all-round” emphasizes the global nature of the opening objects, covering all countries; “multi-level” reflects the gradient of the form of opening up and achieves regional synergy through differentiated policies; “wide-area” refers to the comprehensiveness of the opening content, extending from the economy to the field of social services.
Today’s openness goes deep into the institutional mechanisms. It is the opening of rules, regulations, management, and standards. It has developed from a follower of rules in the past to a maker and leader. The openness model has jumped from the past "factor flow type" to an "institutional type". This is clearly stated in the "Recommendations". The "Recommendations" point out that we should align with international high-standard economic and w88 rules, expand market access and open areas with a focus on the service industry, and expand unilateral open areas and regions.
High-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road”
"China Business News": The "Recommendations" propose to jointly build the "Belt and Road" with high quality. As the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" enters a new decade, how can China continue to promote the diversification of economic and w88 partners and enhance economic resilience?
Wang Zhimin:Policy communication serves as an important guarantee for high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road", promotes institutional opening up to the outside world, is committed to building a new open economic system and an open world economy, and promotes economic cooperation through strategic docking with co-building countries, especially the signing of "Belt and Road" compliance documents to create a more stable industrial chain and supply chain system.
As a priority development area in the high-quality construction of the "Belt and Road", facility connectivity has formed a pattern of interconnected development of people, logistics, capital flows, technology flows, and information flows, providing material support for the smooth flow of economic and w88.
As an important part of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road", unimpeded w88 promotes the orderly flow of economic factors, efficient resource allocation and deep market integration, jointly creates an open and inclusive regional economic cooperation structure, and promotes the deepening and solidification of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road".
As an important support for high-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road”, financial integration promotes the implementation of major projects in infrastructure, industrial investment and other fields by providing long-term and reliable financing support and promotes the economic development of countries along the route. As of October 2025, China has signed multiple local currency swap agreements with countries co-building the “Belt and Road” to promote local currency settlement of w88 and investment. Chinese banks have established 61 first-level institutions in countries along the route, covering 49 countries to provide cross-border comprehensive financial services.
People-to-people connectivity is the social foundation for high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. Its core lies in enhancing understanding and trust among the people of various countries through people-to-people exchanges, mutual learning among civilizations, and improvement of people's livelihood. This includes the Luban Workshop's "Teaching a Man to Fish" program, which has been built in more than 30 co-building countries; Juncao technology, as an important cooperation project of China's "One Belt, One Road" initiative, has been promoted in 106 countries around the world, significantly improving the level of agricultural development and ecological protection in the co-building countries; "small but beautiful" livelihood projects have brought a real sense of gain and happiness to the people of the co-building countries.
Cooperation in new fields is the latest expansion of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road". Through cooperation in new fields such as health, green, digital, and innovation, the Digital Silk Road has become an important engine for promoting the economic growth of the jointly built countries, greatly promoting China's cross-border e-commerce and opening up new formats and new models of foreign w88.
High-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road” has shifted from the previous development orientation to an orientation that emphasizes both development and rules. Therefore, we need to “strengthen the connection with the national strategy of joint construction and strengthen the overall management of cooperation planning.” In addition, the three aspects of "One Belt and One Road" construction infrastructure "hard connectivity", rules and standards "soft connectivity", and jointly building the country's people's "heart-to-heart connectivity" complement each other and support each other.
"China Business News": How will "high-level opening up" empower the Chinese-style modernization process?
Wang Zhimin:Opening up is a distinctive symbol of Chinese modernization. Today's world is an open world. China's development cannot be separated from the world. The development of the world also needs China. Chinese-style modernization is realized in the process of opening up to the outside world.
Specifically, first, making full use of two markets and two resources is a necessary condition for Chinese-style modernization; second, high-level opening up is conducive to expanding the development space for Chinese-style modernization; third, high-level opening up will promote multilateral and regional cooperation and give full play to multilateral institutions. system and the driving role of regional w88 agreements; fourth, from the perspective of industrial development and international division of labor, Chinese-style modernization must be deeply integrated into the international economic system, especially China’s global industrial chain value chain. The process of upgrading and optimizing the industrial structure cannot be separated from the improvement of local enterprises based on independent innovation. Supply capacity; fifth, from an international perspective of promoting global development and building a community with a shared future for mankind, Chinese-style modernization will expand high-level opening up and promote its own high-quality development by establishing a benefit-sharing mechanism with trading partners; sixth, in promoting Chinese-style modernization, Our country continues to improve the level of foreign economic and w88, continues to increase the import of goods and services, and further promotes my country's transformation from a large manufacturing and exporting country to an industrial and financial power. Seventh, expand the space for two-way investment cooperation, promote the integration of investment and w88, and promote Chinese-style modernization in the process of international economic cooperation. As an important force in China's modernization drive, foreign capital cannot be ignored and must be fully and rationally utilized.
