Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has coordinated the "two overall situations", scientifically grasped the dialectical relationship between development and security, openness and independence, and proposed to build a new development pattern in which "the domestic cycle is the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promote each other". The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that "promoting high-level opening up to the outside world", and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China further emphasized "expanding international circulation, promoting reform and development through openness" and "actively expanding independent opening up and promoting innovative development of w88." This series of important expositions systematically clarified the direction and tasks of expanding international circulation and expanding independent opening up, and profoundly revealed its important role in promoting the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization. Currently, the century-old changes in the world are accelerating, economic globalization is encountering countercurrents, and technological revolution and industrial transformation are profoundly reshaping the global competitive landscape. Expanding international circulation and expanding independent opening up are strategic choices for China to take the initiative and shape the future in the century-old changes. Only by improving independent capabilities in a higher level of openness and expanding development space in a wider international cycle can we respond to situations with openness, reduce risks with cooperation, win the future with innovation, and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to building an open, inclusive, win-win and shared world economy.
In-depth understanding of the significance of expanding international circulation and expanding independent opening up
Expanding international circulation and expanding independent opening up have become my country’s strategic choices to coordinate development and security and achieve high-quality development. This move not only conforms to the inherent laws of China's economic development in the new era, but also demonstrates China's responsibility as a major country for mutual benefit, win-win results, and common development with other countries in the world.
The inevitable requirement for building a new development pattern. The essence of building a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles reinforcing each other is to enhance the domestic market potential and the efficiency of international resource allocation, exert the synergistic effect of the two, and solve the structural contradictions faced in development. Expanding international circulation and expanding independent opening up are the core contents of building a new development pattern. It emphasizes empowering domestic circulation through opening up and supporting international circulation with domestic circulation, forming an organic unity of "main body" and "two wings". From a theoretical logic point of view, the domestic cycle is the foundation and confidence of the international cycle. The ultra-large market advantage, complete industrial system, and continuously upgraded domestic demand structure provide stable demand support and supply guarantee for the international cycle; the international cycle is the extension and improvement of the domestic cycle. By expanding the international market space and gathering global high-quality resources, it can not only make up for the shortcomings of insufficient supply of some domestic high-end factors, but also improve the quality and efficiency of the domestic cycle. The two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing, and are unified in the process of promoting high-quality economic development, reflecting the dialectical unity of adhering to independence and expanding opening up to the outside world.
Key measures to support the overall situation of Chinese-style modernization. Expand international circulation and expand independent opening up, and inject impetus into modernization through internal and external collaboration and two-way empowerment. By expanding independent opening up, we can force in-depth institutional reform, remove obstacles that restrict the release of domestic demand potential, and enhance the endogenous power of economic development; by expanding the international cycle, it is conducive to participating in global resource allocation on a wider scale and at a higher level, promoting the aggregation of technology, talent, capital and other elements domestically, and providing important support for promoting scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading. The positive interaction between international circulation and independent opening-up not only promotes the benefits of China-style modernization to all people, but also creates broad opportunities for countries around the world to share development dividends and provides solid support for building an open and inclusive global development community.
Strategic path to gain new advantages in international competition. Currently, the global industrial landscape is undergoing profound restructuring, and competition with institutional rules and open levels has become an important part of international competition. my country's opening up to the outside world is transforming from factor flow openness to institutional openness. By proactively aligning with high-standard international economic and w88 rules and steadily expanding institutional openness such as rules, regulations, management, and standards, China can enhance my country's voice and influence in international economic governance, better adapt to the trend of reshaping global industrial and supply chains, and promote the development of manufacturing in the direction of high-end, intelligent, and green. By strengthening and improving foreign w88 and unblocking international circulation, my country will give full play to its comprehensive advantages of a complete manufacturing system and strong supporting capabilities, realize the optimization and upgrading of the industrial chain and supply chain, and win the initiative, advantages and future in the fierce international competition.
China’s plan to promote the healthy development of economic globalization. China's insistence on expanding international circulation and expanding independent opening up is not only a conscious compliance with the laws of economic globalization, but also an important contribution to global economic development. By promoting w88 and investment liberalization and facilitation, deepening bilateral and multilateral economic and w88 cooperation, and actively participating in the reform and construction of the global governance system, China has provided a pragmatic and feasible path to solve the global development deficit and governance deficit. Independent opening up means that China will always seize the initiative in opening up and scientifically determine the pace and method of opening up based on its own development needs and actual conditions. This reflects the Party Central Committee's firm determination to promote high-level opening up and its accurate grasp of national conditions and development stages, and contributes Chinese wisdom and strength to promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, universally beneficial, balanced, and win-win direction.
Better expand independent opening up by expanding international circulation
Expand the independent and open external space with a more open international cycle. On the one hand, expanding international circulation can promote the flow and allocation of resources in the international market, promote Chinese enterprises to deeply participate in the division of labor in the global industrial chain and supply chain, expand the space for corporate development, help release the advantages of my country's manufacturing industry in the global market, and cultivate a modern industrial system with international competitiveness. At the same time, with the inflow of international capital and technology, the domestic industrial chain continues to jump to the mid-to-high end, which will help enhance my country's position in the global industrial chain and promote the deepening of independent opening up in various fields. On the other hand, expanding international circulation can help my country delve into emerging markets, deepen cooperation frameworks such as the “Belt and Road Initiative” and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), transform the in-depth expansion of international circulation into independent and open realistic channels, form a diversified and balanced trading partner pattern, and promote connectivity with countries around the world.
Enhance the endogenous capacity of independent opening up with a higher-quality international cycle. First, by steadily expanding market access, it attracts multinational companies to deploy global R&D centers in China, thereby introducing their advanced technology and management experience, creating a "spillover effect"; second, the fierce competition brought about by high-quality international circulation is a key force driving the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation. In this process, our country can not only enhance its industrial competitiveness, but also improve its independent innovation capabilities, thereby forming new advantages in opening up.
Consolidate the safe foundation of independent openness with a more robust international cycle. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “the more we expand opening-up, the more we must coordinate development and security and firmly maintain the bottom line of security.” Expanding international circulation is an important means to safeguard the safety bottom line of independent opening-up. First, through high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and active exploration of emerging markets, diversified w88 and investment links can be established. Second, relying on my country's ultra-large-scale market advantages and complete industrial system, promoting the in-depth layout of global industrial and supply chains in my country through international circulation, we can form a community of interests in which "you have me, and I have you". Third, the stable operation of domestic circulation also requires key elements and market space provided by international circulation. A safe and stable international circulation can in turn promote the development of domestic circulation.
Enhance the voice of independent opening up with a higher level of international circulation. By jointly building the Belt and Road with high quality, promoting cooperation in green, low-carbon and digital economies, and expanding unilateral opening up to the least developed countries, my country not only provides public goods for global development, but also demonstrates its image as a responsible major country. At the same time, it actively participates in and promotes the formulation of rules in areas such as digital w88 and climate governance, which has enhanced my country’s voice and influence in global economic governance. As a result, the level and quality of independent opening-up have been significantly improved, forming a stronger strategic initiative in coping with global economic uncertainty and building an open world economy.
Better deepen the international circulation by expanding independent opening up
Improve the resource allocation efficiency of international circulation through factor opening. In the process of deepening international circulation, factor opening is an important part of optimizing global resource allocation and improving the efficiency of the supply system. On the one hand, high-level openness has created a more attractive mobility platform for all types of talents. By introducing high-end scientific research and technical talents and promoting knowledge spillover and innovation cooperation, China can further enhance my country's position in the global innovation chain, enhance the operational capacity of the domestic industrial system and the resilience of the international cycle, and at the same time promote the stable coordination of international industrial chains and supply chains. The orderly flow of labor elements not only stabilizes the supply side of the international cycle, but also promotes the dynamic upgrading of the value chain and higher efficiency of resource allocation, continuously injecting new momentum into the improvement of quality and efficiency of the international cycle. On the other hand, a high level of openness means further opening up cross-border investment and financing channels, attracting global capital to participate in the construction of domestic industrial chains, supply chains, and innovation chains, and promoting the deep coupling of capital, technology and industry. At present, our country has gradually formed a multi-level capital market system and a more transparent regulatory framework, achieving the stability of capital inflows and improving allocation efficiency. Through the steady advancement of the RMB internationalization process, the increasingly improved cross-border payment system, and the construction of green financial cooperation mechanisms, my country's hub status in the global financial network has been continuously improved, providing more resilient financial support for the international cycle. At the same time, through macro-prudential management and risk prevention and control mechanisms, the stability of capital flows can be ensured and the international circulation can be promoted to value creation.
Promote the structural upgrading of international circulation through the opening up of the industrial system. The opening of the industrial system is the core link of independent opening and an important driving force for promoting the structural upgrading of the international cycle. On the one hand, expanding independent opening up has enhanced the global embeddedness of the industrial system. Institutional opening up in manufacturing, digital economy, green and low-carbon and other fields has promoted the in-depth connection between domestic industries and the international division of labor system, and promoted enterprises to jump from mid- to low-end links to high value-added links in the global value chain, forming a virtuous cycle of technology diffusion, knowledge spillover and industrial collaboration. On the other hand, the opening up of the industrial system can promote the integration of international circulation rules through mutual recognition of standards and institutional connection. By jointly building cross-border industrial cooperation parks, overseas production bases and joint R&D platforms, we will promote a more balanced and complementary international division of labor in terms of spatial layout and functional structure. At the same time, the formation of an open industrial system will strengthen the independent controllability and collaborative resilience of domestic industries, and achieve a virtuous cycle of "promoting innovation through openness and improving resilience through innovation."
Expand the spatial pattern of international circulation through regional collaborative opening up. Regional opening is a concentrated expression of independent opening up at the spatial level, and is a key link connecting the unified domestic market and the global economic network. On the one hand, we should expand independent opening up and promote the formation of an open pattern of complementary division of labor and gradient connection in coastal, inland and border areas by opening up the linkage channels between domestic regions and international markets, so that international circulation has a broader hinterland support and can promote the deep integration of domestic regional networks and global industrial and supply chains. On the other hand, promoting regional linkage opening up, by improving cross-border infrastructure and rule connection systems, and transforming regional cooperation frameworks into institutionalized open corridors can enhance the synergy and resilience of international circulation. Regional collaborative opening not only expands the geographical radius of international circulation, but also improves the spatial structure, which can promote efficient flow and balanced development of international circulation on a larger scale, forming a new pattern of regional collaboration driving global linkage.
