Core View: Economic Daily-China Economic Net columnist Yang Fei believes that in 2020, China's foreign trade will continue to pick up, and the use of foreign capital will grow against the trend, becoming a rare bright spot in the global market, fully demonstrating the advantages of my country's socialist basic economic system.

In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", we must resolutely stabilize the fundamentals of foreign trade and foreign investment, create new advantages in international cooperation and competition with a high-level opening to the outside world, and strive to create a new situation for high-quality development, while also allowing China to develop better Benefit the world.

　　In 2020, facing the severe and complex international situation, especially the severe impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, my country has achieved steady and better-than-expected business development.

According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, in 2020, domestic consumption will recover steadily, foreign trade will reach new highs, and the use of foreign capital will grow against the trend.

Among them, the scale of foreign trade and international market share both hit record highs. The status of the largest trading country has been consolidated, and at the same time it has become the largest inflow of foreign capital.

This fully demonstrates the resilience of my country's economic development in the face of difficulties and challenges.

　　"The Chinese economy is an ocean, not a small pond."

Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, under the correct leadership of the party, we have controlled the epidemic relatively quickly and achieved resumption of work and production and economic growth in a short period of time.

-6.8%, 3.2%, 4.9%, 6.5%... From the first to the fourth quarter of 2020, the year-on-year growth rate of China's GDP has gone out of a "smiling curve" that first declines and then rises.

The fundamentals of stable economic development and long-term improvement remain unchanged. China is the only major economy in the world that has achieved positive economic growth, and is the most stable foundation in the global supply chain system.

　　In an extraordinary year of 2020, China has achieved significant results in the overall planning of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.

The total retail sales of consumer goods in the whole year was 39.2 trillion yuan, and the final consumption accounted for 54.3% of GDP; the import and export of goods reached 32.2 trillion yuan, the total scale and the international market share both hit a record high; the actual use of foreign capital throughout the year was 999.98 billion yuan, a new record There are 39,000 foreign-funded enterprises, making it the world's largest foreign capital inflow country.

A stable, open, tolerant, and confident China has become more prominent as a "stabilizer" of the global economy.

　　"After the country prefaces the people, the system is right."

The basic stability of foreign trade and foreign investment is inseparable from the strong joint force of the whole country.

Optimize export tax rebate (exemption) services, increase credit support, implement more preferential import tax policies, earnestly implement the Foreign Investment Law and supporting regulations, and reduce the national and pilot free trade zone version of the negative list of foreign investment access... Since the outbreak In response to new situations and new problems, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have promptly issued a series of policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade and foreign investment to ensure foreign trade entities, market share, export orders, industrial supply chain stability, business environment optimization, and market expansion. Accurately implement policies in terms of access and vigorously promote the better integration of effective markets and effective governments.

China's foreign trade continued to pick up, and the use of foreign capital to grow against the trend has become a rare bright spot in the global market, fully demonstrating the advantages of my country's socialist basic economic system.

　　"If the world is good, China will be good; if China is good, the world will be better."

Standing at the historical intersection of the "two centuries", the new journey of building a modern socialist country is about to begin in an all-round way.

In the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", we must resolutely stabilize the basic market for foreign trade and foreign investment, open up to the outside world at a high level to create new advantages in international cooperation and competition, and while striving to create a new situation for high-quality development, we must also make China develop better Land benefits the world.
