Economy: Prosper, Not Decay

Por Cui Yige

The world economy ocean is not anyone’s private pond. Giving priority to a country and the domain of a country goes against the tendency of time. Faced with the opposite winds of commercial protectionism and unilateralism, China has chosen to relieve development difficulties through unity and look for mutual benefit results through cooperation, and share with the world the development opportunities generated by the modernization of China.

China adheres to the true multilateralism and continues to inject openness and vitality to the world economy with its own high quality development, becoming a “site of certainty” in a world full of uncertainty.

Since the initiative of the Strip and the Route was proposed, the areas of cooperation have been diversified continuously, the scope of cooperation has increasingly expanded and the results of cooperation have continued to benefit the peoples of more than 150 countries. It has become the most popular international public product and the world’s largest international cooperation platform today.

China has presented the Open and Inclusive Cooperation Initiative “South Global”, has announced its support for eight “Global South” cooperation initiatives, has reversed and mobilized almost 20,000 million dollars in development funds and has carried out more than 1,100 projects, injecting a strong impulse to the development and revitalization of the “global south” with practical actions.

The “small patio with high fences” cannot stop the development of China. In 2024, China established about 60,000 new companies with foreign investment, an year -on -year increase of 9.9%. Maintaining an upward and trustworthy position towards China remains the consensus among many foreign companies. Since the implementation of the 20 measures to stabilize foreign investment to the proposal to increase political efforts in the “Government’s work” this year, China has always fulfilled its commitment to high -level opening and has continued to create a market -oriented business environment -oriented environment, based on the law and internationalized.

On April 24, the “negative list for market access (2025)” was published. Since China published the first edition of the negative access list to markets in 2018, after four reviews in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2025, the number of items on the list has been reduced from 151 in the 2018 version of 2018 to the current 106, a reduction of around 30%.

The list is shortened and the door opens more. As the “Circle of Friends” without a visa of China continues to expand, the value of Chinese passports is increasing, and several departments have frequently launched a combination of policies to actively provide more convenience for foreigners to travel, work, study and live in China.

Taking Beijing as an example, since December 17, 2024, more than 1.3 million foreigners have entered and left the ports of Beijing, of which more than 310,000 foreigners have enjoyed various visa policies, an interannual increase of 150% compared to before the policy was issued.

On April 27, the Ministry of Commerce and six other departments issued a notice on the additional optimization of the policy of return taxes to expand incoming consumption, further enrich the market offer, optimize tax return services and expand incoming consumption.

More and more foreigners see the true China, full of energy and vitality. More and more multinational companies realize that investing in China is to invest in the future.

As the second largest economy in the world, China’s average annual contribution to global growth is around 30%. It is the main commercial partner of more than 150 countries and regions. He has maintained his position as the largest commercial country in the world and the second largest importer of goods for many years. It is an indispensable link for the stability and proper functioning of world production and supply chains.

It doesn’t matter how the wind and rain are strong, China’s determination to expand high -level opening will not change, and its determination to share development opportunities with the world will not change.

China, which has an extremely large market, is firmly committed to promoting a high -level opening and will undoubtedly provide a “source of power” and a “stability anchor” for the development of the world economy.
