On November 5, 2018 (September 28, 2018 in the lunar calendar), the first China International Import Expo opened. In the new era, we share the future. On November 5, 2018, the first China International Import Expo will kick off in Shanghai, China. More than 3000 companies from all over the world signed contracts to participate in the exhibition, bringing together global trade resources; political figures from about 150 countries and regions and heads of relevant international organizations were pleased to attend the meeting to jointly outline a global trade blueprint for cooperation and development. The first China International Import Expo, which was personally planned, proposed, and personally deployed and promoted by President Xi Jinping, is the first national-level exhibition with the theme of import held so far in my country on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. "This is not a general exhibition, but a major policy declaration and action for us to actively open up the market." President Xi Jinping's important exposition fully demonstrates China's determination and confidence to further expand opening up in the new era. China has demonstrated to the world with practical actions: China's door to openness will not close, but will only open wider and wider! Hosting the Import Expo is not only a major initiative in the history of international trade development, but also a major decision made by my country to promote a new round of high-level opening up to the outside world. It fully demonstrates China's firm confidence in supporting trade liberalization and economic globalization; It fully demonstrates China's determination to develop an open economy on a larger scale, in a wider field, and at a deeper level, and conforms to the common aspiration of people around the world for development and progress. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China has always adhered to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, actively integrated into the development of economic globalization, and continuously optimized the market environment. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has the courage to venture into dangerous waters and bite hard bones, promote comprehensive deepening of reforms and advance into deep waters, and the door to opening up of China has become wider and wider. A report just released by the World Bank shows that China's business environment has jumped significantly from 78th in the previous year to 46th in the world, ranking among the top 50 for the first time. China is a beneficiary and contributor to economic globalization. China's rapid economic growth has become the "main engine" and "stability anchor" driving the world economy, injecting majestic "China energy" into the healthy development of the world economy; China is committed to creating an open and win-win cooperation model and a fair and reasonable international order, which promotes the balance of economic globalization and development. China draws development momentum from the world and benefits the world from the dividends of its own development. "A single flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers bloom all over the garden. "The Chinese nation has always longed for the beautiful wish of" one world, one family in the world ", adheres to the cultural spirit of" harmonious all countries, harmonious world ", and pursues the principle of" traveling on the road, the world is for the public." The China people not only hope for themselves, but also hope that people of all countries will live well. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that "the people of China welcome people from all over the world with open arms to ride the 'express train' and 'free ride' of China's development." Holding a large-scale international import expo is to use actions to tell everyone that China firmly promotes free trade and open development, and that China's development is an opportunity for the world. As a responsible big country, China has always taken pragmatic measures to integrate the interests and common development of all countries in the world. Today, the international community clearly realizes that the great initiative of the "Belt and Road" has built a worldwide cooperation platform; the China concept of building a "community with a shared future for mankind" has innovated the concept of global governance; and the experience accumulated by China over the past 40 years of reform and opening up has provided useful reference for many developing countries. The holding of this large-scale import expo is another China practice guided by the important concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. We firmly believe that at the important juncture of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, this grand event along the Huangpu River will surely further deepen China's reform and opening up, promote economic globalization into a new era, and become a promotion of global free trade. An important symbol of overcoming obstacles and breaking waves! We hope that all countries will take this grand event as an opportunity to conduct extensive exchanges, seek common ground while reserving differences, achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and work together to promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, universally beneficial, balanced and win-win direction, so as to build a lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, clean and beautiful world and forge ahead together!
