(Fighting New Crown Pneumonia) Tu Guangshao advocates early detection of the impact of the epidemic to maintain and develop international economic cooperation

China News Agency, Beijing, March 21st (Reporter Yang Yan) Tu Guangshao, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former vice chairman of China Investment Corporation, pointed out on the 20th that the epidemic of new crown pneumonia has spread and the global economy is facing challenges. China should study the impact of the epidemic as soon as possible, actively seek communication and understanding between countries, and better maintain and develop international economic cooperation.

With the theme of "resisting epidemics, safeguarding the economy, and promoting development", the People's Political Consultative Conference's first "cloud discussion forum" in 2020 was held on the Internet on the 20th. Tu Guangshao made the above remarks on the new changes in China's global economic ties under the epidemic.

He pointed out that with the advancement of globalization, extensive and intensive links have been established between countries and regions. The epidemic is spreading globally and the challenges it brings are global. If the global epidemic is not effectively controlled, the Chinese economy will also face huge risks. Solving this problem requires global consultation and collaboration.

Tu Guangshao said that as the world's second largest economy, China's contribution to global economic growth is becoming greater and greater; China's progress in fighting the "epidemic" itself is also an important contribution to the world. At the current stage, China must, on the one hand, better control the epidemic and consolidate its achievements; on the other hand, it must also accelerate economic recovery and provide momentum for global economic development.

He believes that the negative impact of investment and trade in the world will continue in the future. China needs to adapt to the special international economic environment, strive to take the initiative in stabilizing foreign trade, and seek better measures. He suggested keeping track of the epidemic situation and economic development in different regions of the world in time to better explore new markets.

"The epidemic is always staged." Tu Guangshao predicts that after the global economy has experienced shocks, the demand for investment will increase; the restoration of the Chinese economy to stabilization as soon as possible will be of great benefit to attract foreign investment. China should make timely plans in terms of "going out and bringing in", take the initiative to act in accordance with the current situation, seek communication and understanding between various countries, and lay a solid foundation for China to better cooperate with the world.

Tu Guangshao emphasized that China needs to make forward-looking analysis and research judgments to assess the impact of the epidemic on global financial markets and leverage ratios as early as possible, and to discuss changes in the global industrial chain and supply chain after the epidemic. Take the initiative. At the same time, facing the challenge of the epidemic to the process of globalization, China should still be prepared to respond to new changes and challenges, and avoid being passive, on the premise of adhering to globalization.
