China is opening its doors wider to the world, strengthening global partnerships, and sharing development opportunities with countries across the globe. As a major trading partner to over 150 countries and regions, China’s commitment to openness and cooperation is fostering mutual growth and prosperity.
In recent years, China has reduced its overall tariff levels to 7.3 percent, approaching those of developed members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). This move signifies China’s dedication to creating a more comprehensive and deeper pattern of opening up that spans a broader range of areas.
At international events like the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, China reiterated its commitment to advancing high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and integrating further into the regional and global economy. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a testament to China’s efforts in building a “circle of friends” through infrastructure development, trade, and cultural exchanges.
China values foreign relations and uses bilateral exchanges to facilitate trade and economic interaction. Currently, it has established partnerships with over 113 countries and regional organizations, continually strengthening friendly exchanges worldwide. Through multi-level and multi-dimensional frameworks, China is fostering stronger ties that benefit all parties involved.
On a local level, China’s efforts are equally impressive. The China International Friendship Cities Conference brought together representatives from cities around the world to discuss technological innovation, green development, culture, and transport connectivity. Such events promote understanding and cooperation at the grassroots level.
China is also nurturing new drivers for foreign trade, fueling global economic growth with high-quality development. By providing affordable and high-quality industrial products and maintaining a massive demand market, China contributes significantly to global economic growth. International platforms like the China Import and Export Fair and the China International Import Expo bring together global traders, cultivating new opportunities for foreign trade.
Digital transformation is another area where China is making strides. With advanced infrastructure, vast data resources, and rich application scenarios, China has unique advantages in the digital realm. The government has introduced policies encouraging enterprises to accelerate digital transformation, unlocking digital dividends and promoting high-quality economic development. China’s advancements not only benefit its own economy but also stimulate digital transformations in other countries through industrial and supply chains.
Moreover, China is leading the way in green development, making concerted efforts to cut carbon emissions, reduce pollution, and boost economic growth. Initiatives like promoting new energy vehicles and building the world’s longest green ecological barrier around the Taklamakan Desert demonstrate China’s commitment to environmental sustainability. These efforts not only benefit China’s own people but also offer valuable experience and practical guidance for other countries pursuing green development.
China’s development is intertwined with global prosperity. By embracing the world with an open mindset and engaging in political mutual trust, economic interactions, and cultural exchanges, China continues to introduce innovative measures and share fresh opportunities with countries pursuing their own development.
As China accelerates the establishment of a new development paradigm, its role on the global stage becomes increasingly significant. With ongoing efforts to share opportunities and promote cooperation, China’s contributions to global growth are set to expand even further.
