1. Continue to promote high-level opening up in the new era with remarkable results and fruitful results
Reform and opening up is an important magic weapon for the cause of the Party and the people to make great strides in catching up with the times. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has united and led the whole Party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to break through the shackles of ideological concepts and the barriers of solidified interests with great historical initiative, great political courage, and strong responsibility, and dared to break into deep water areas and dare to We must gnaw hard bones, dare to venture into dangerous shoals, resolutely eliminate the shortcomings of systems and mechanisms in all aspects, and realize the transformation of reforms from partial exploration and ice-breaking breakthroughs to systematic integration and comprehensive deepening. The basic institutional framework in various fields has been basically established, and many fields have achieved historic changes, systemic reshaping, and overall reconstruction. The level of my country's opening up to the outside world has been continuously improved, and its achievements have been remarkable. It has continuously gathered new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition, forming a new driving force for the construction of a modern and powerful socialist country.
Coordinately promote the stable operation of the economy, the transformation and upgrading of foreign w88, and the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”. In the first half of 2024, my country's national economy was generally stable and making progress. The GDP was 61.7 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.0%. The added value of industries above designated size increased by 6.0% year-on-year. The import and export of goods w88 increased by 6.1% year-on-year. Investment in high-tech industries increased by 10.6% year-on-year. This reflects the current positive trend of steady economic operation, steady growth in production, accelerated growth of new drivers, and steady advancement of high-quality development. In the first half of 2024, my country's total imports and exports to countries co-building the "Belt and Road" were 10.03 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.2%, accounting for 47.4% of the total import and export value. As a flagship project and iconic brand of the Belt and Road Initiative, China-Europe freight trains have operated more than 90,000 trains in total, and will exceed 10,000 trains from 2024 to early July.
Support the building of an open world economy and negotiate free w88 agreements with more countries. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has signed 12 free w88 agreements, including 11 free w88 agreements with individual countries and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. In addition, while signing these 12 free w88 agreements, previously concluded free w88 agreements were also upgraded. my country has taken the initiative to unilaterally expand market opening and decided to grant zero-tariff treatment to all least developed countries that have diplomatic relations with China, including 33 African countries, on 100% of tax items. China has become the first major developing country and major economy in the world to implement this measure.
Continue to optimize the business environment and accelerate the construction of a new higher-level open economic system. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have continued to deepen the reform of "decentralization, regulation and service", and the overall level of China's business environment has continued to improve. Through a series of measures such as simplifying the approval process, optimizing service quality, and strengthening legal protection, my country is committed to providing enterprises with a more convenient, efficient, and fair business environment, which not only promotes the development of domestic enterprises, but also attracts many foreign investors to participate in the Chinese market.
Actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system and lead the transformation and improvement of the international order. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has actively participated in the reform of the global economic governance system, firmly safeguarded the multilateral trading system with the World w88 Organization as its core, and improved and refined China's plan to fully and deeply participate in the reform of the World w88 Organization. Propose the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative and continuously improve and promote the high-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road” mechanism. Propose a global development initiative, emphasize placing development at a prominent position in global macro policies, adhere to the general direction of economic globalization, promote economic globalization to be more open, inclusive, universally beneficial, balanced, and win-win, advocate an equal, open, cooperative, and shared global economic governance concept, and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries, including my country.
2. The key to cultivating new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition is to develop new productive forces
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's economy has achieved rapid growth, constantly meeting the people's growing needs for a better life, and making outstanding contributions to promoting and stabilizing the world economy. The main reason for this achievement is that the Communist Party of China has always insisted on liberating and developing productive forces as its fundamental task, and has continuously improved the top-level design based on my country's economic development stage and changes in the external environment. In the new era and new journey, the external environment facing my country's development has become more complex and severe. There is an undercurrent of anti-globalization thoughts, fierce competition among major powers, intensified wars and conflicts in some regions, global industrial and supply chains are facing reconstruction, and external economic and political uncertainties are rising. In this context, developing new productive forces has become the key to cultivating new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition. This is because the world's overall development process and China's own development stage have entered a historic key node - economic development has been deeply integrated with the development of a new generation of cutting-edge cutting-edge technologies. There have been three major scientific and technological revolutions in modern history, from steam engines to electricity to information technology. Each time, the application of disruptive technologies achieved a jump in production efficiency, which in turn promoted major changes in global economic and social development. The competition pattern among major powers has also undergone profound changes. Based on the current situation, the key to further liberating and developing productivity still lies in technological innovation - advanced technologies in strategic industries such as new generation information technology, artificial intelligence, aerospace, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment, biomedicine, and quantum technology are brewing and have achieved some breakthroughs, and their impact on the global economy and society is gradually emerging.
The scientific and technological innovation needed to accelerate the formation of new productive forces is spurred by revolutionary technological breakthroughs, innovative allocation of production factors, and in-depth industrial transformation and upgrading. This means that to promote the development of new productive forces, we need to build a high-standard scientific and technological innovation system and accelerate the creation of a globally competitive open innovation ecosystem. This is an important aspect of forming production relations that are compatible with the development of new productive forces. By optimizing the innovation environment and improving the innovation policy system, we will create a cultural atmosphere that respects innovation and tolerates failure, promote the smooth flow of production factors on a larger scale, promote the smoother flow of various advanced and high-quality production factors to the fields of developing new productivity, promote the development of new productivity, and help cultivate my country's new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition.
3. Focus on further cultivating new advantages in international economic cooperation and competition under the new situation
In the context of a higher level of opening up to the outside world, more attention should be paid to the integration of Chinese enterprises into the global value chain through overseas investment, that is, a high-level form of "going out". In the face of global industrial restructuring and in-depth economic and w88 adjustments, in order to achieve the goals of expanding domestic demand and expanding high-level opening up, it is necessary to more firmly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy on the premise of maintaining national economic security, coordinate internal and external efforts, promote positive domestic and international dual-cycle interactions, and actively participate in global governance.
Deepen the reform of factor markets and promote the construction of a unified national market. Give full play to the advantages of the new national system, coordinate and promote the reform of the education, science and technology talent system and mechanism, continue to promote the "trinity" coordinated and integrated development of education, science and technology, and talents, accelerate the training of high-quality talents, the research and development and application promotion of cutting-edge technologies, optimize the allocation of innovative resources, promote industrial transformation and upgrading, and promote industries with comparative advantages in our country to move up to high value-added links in the global value chain. In this process, we will continue to promote international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, actively integrate into the global innovation system, make good use of global innovation resources, and implement an international scientific and technological cooperation strategy that is more open, inclusive, and mutually beneficial. Accelerate the construction of a unified domestic market, remove existing local protectionism and other obstacles, promote the cross-regional flow of production factors, and further release domestic production capacity and market potential.
Build a new higher-level open economic system and contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to global economic governance. On the basis of consolidating w88 and investment facilitation, we will continue to firmly support w88 and investment liberalization and facilitation, steadily expand institutional opening up such as rules, regulations, management, and standards, further relax market access, proactively align with international high-standard economic and w88 rules, deepen multilateral, bilateral and regional economic cooperation, and exert influence in the global and regional economies. Deepen the reform of foreign investment and outbound investment management systems, continue to optimize the business environment, stabilize market expectations, and provide more stable and reliable support and guarantee for further promoting healthy competition and healthy development of enterprises. Strengthen the construction of standards internationalization infrastructure and increase the promotion of the internationalization of Chinese standards. Strengthen international talent training, reserve and exchanges, and enhance China’s international voice in the formulation of standards and rules.
Expand a global network of high-standard free w88 zones and expand the breadth and depth of international economic and w88 cooperation. We will firmly uphold multilateralism and serve as a bridge between developed countries and developing economies. Learn from the successful experience of negotiating the Investment Facilitation Agreement for Development and promote multilateral negotiations with common interests. Continue to advance the negotiation process of joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Digital Economic Partnership Agreement (DEPA), and promote the negotiation and signing of more high-standard free w88 agreements. Make full use of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), accelerate China-ASEAN 3.0 upgrade negotiations and China-Japan-South Korea Free w88 Agreement negotiations, and maximize policy dividends. Actively promote regional energy cooperation and steadily and steadily advance the internationalization of the RMB.
Continue to promote the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative, strengthen policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded w88, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds, and expand cooperation space in new areas. Actively implement the eight actions for high-quality joint construction of the “Belt and Road” and improve the “Belt and Road” international cooperation mechanism. We will continue to promote policy communication and industrial docking with countries co-building the “Belt and Road Initiative”, build high-level overseas economic and w88 cooperation zones, accelerate the construction of “two countries and two parks”, accurately promote industrial project cooperation, promote advantageous industries to go global, and build an industrial chain system with us as the mainstay. Support the development of China-Europe freight trains, build new international land and sea w88 channels, accelerate the construction of multi-level and complex infrastructure networks, and expand the layout of Eurasian economic and w88 cooperation. Strengthen people-to-people exchanges and cultural exchanges, improve the convenience of mutual visits between Chinese and foreign personnel in work, education, and tourism, strengthen Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools and the sharing of educational resources, and accelerate my country's transformation into an important world education center with strong influence.
