  On August 26, the first batch of special economic zones established by China's reform and opening up celebrated its 40th birthday. The reform and opening up over the past 40 years is believed to have shaped China's "world view" today-"China cannot develop without the world, and the world's prosperity also needs China."

  Faced with the rapidly changing world, when China is planning a mid-to-long-term blueprint for a new stage of development, how does it see the world, how it sees itself in the world, and how to get along with the world—what kind of "world outlook" does China hold? It has once again become a key logical starting point for China to face the future.

  Observers have noticed that at a time when the global economy is sluggish, the outlook for the epidemic is unclear, and negative sentiments are permeating, China's top leader Xi Jinping has recently clearly expressed China's positive "world outlook" on several important occasions.

How to see the world?

  Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping has repeatedly stated his major judgments on the world situation-"The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century." On August 24, he put forward the latest research and judgment on the world's general trend at a symposium for the "14th Five-Year Plan" plan-the current global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated this big change, protectionism, and single Borderism is on the rise, the world economy is in a downturn, the global industrial chain and supply chain are facing impacts due to non-economic factors, the international economy, technology, culture, security, and politics are undergoing profound adjustments, and the world has entered a period of turbulent change.

  Based on this judgment, Xi Jinping put forward for the first time that “in the coming period, we will face more headwinds and headwaters of the external environment, and we must be prepared to deal with a series of new risks and challenges.” He also proposed that “strive to achieve higher quality, More efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development." These five "more" are considered to reflect China's aggressive attitude during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period or even longer.

  Although the world has entered a period of turbulent change, in China's view, the fundamental trend has not changed, and peace and development are still the themes of the times. "In today's world, the interests of all countries are highly integrated, and mankind is a community of shared destiny, and win-win cooperation is the general trend."

  As the country that was the first to suffer the impact of the new crown epidemic and was also the first major economy to achieve economic growth from negative to positive, China’s dialectical judgments on future world trends and China’s active policy choices undoubtedly conveyed a clear message to the troubled world , Positive Chinese confidence.

How to see yourself in the world?

  From its own development process, China has deeply realized that only when the world is good can China be good; when China is good, the world will be better.

  Facing the new stage of development, the way China thinks about its relationship with the world is also changing. International observers pointed out that while caring about itself, China is paying more attention to what opportunities it can provide the world.

  Regarding the relationship between China and the world, Xi Jinping has given a clear positioning-"China today" is also "China of the world", and promised that "China in the future will embrace the world with a more open attitude and be more dynamic Contribute to the world with the achievements of civilization".

  China’s latest “new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the mutual promotion of the domestic and international double cycles” is regarded as a strategic choice to reshape China’s new advantages in international cooperation and competition. Repositioning.

  Xi Jinping once explained in detail the main considerations: "In the past, under the external environment of the in-depth development of economic globalization, the'two ends of the market' and resources played an important role in the rapid development of my country. In the current rising protectionism, the global economic downturn, Under the external environment of shrinking market, we must give full play to the advantages of the domestic super-large-scale market, and add impetus to my country's economic development by prospering the domestic economy and smoothing the domestic cycle, and drive the recovery of the world economy."

  In response to the concerns and misunderstandings of the outside world about China’s new development pattern, Xi Jinping has repeatedly responded and clarified: “The new development pattern is by no means a closed domestic cycle, but an open domestic and international double cycle.” “The door to China’s opening will not be The closure will only open wider and wider.” These statements clearly convey a signal that China will not be disconnected from the world and will not shut the door to operate in a closed manner, indicating that China is willing to be the creator of world market opportunities and contribute to the recovery of the global economy. By.

How to get along with the world?

  In response to the current world countercurrent, China is showing a more mature and rational attitude, and is always seeking a benign interaction with the world.

  At the forum on August 24, Xi Jinping’s speech was considered to be the latest example of this way of getting along-“Any country, region and company willing to cooperate with us, including states, localities and companies in the United States, we must Actively carry out cooperation to form an all-round, multi-level, and diversified open cooperation pattern." This expression has been positively evaluated by the outside world, which is believed to indicate that although some extremist forces on the US side continue to create troubles, China’s policy towards the United States has maintained continuity. Peace and stability, adhere to equality and reciprocity, promote the development of bilateral relations through cooperation rather than decoupling, and assume its due responsibilities for the world.

  Since the epidemic, whether faced with praise or slander, China has always actively carried out international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic, doing everything it can to provide support and assistance to countries in need; China’s diplomacy has gone against the trend, not only making like-minded partners, but also expanding those who seek common ground while reserving differences. Circle of Friends: Facing the headwinds of economic globalization, China actively maintains the stability and smoothness of the global industrial chain and supply chain, firmly promotes the construction of an open world economy, and insists on "standing on the right side of history."

  Observers believe that no matter how the external environment changes, no matter how it develops, persisting in resolving contradictions and conflicts through cooperation and dialogue will always be the way China handles its relations with the world.

  People believe that facing the new stage of development, China's positive "world outlook" will inject more certainty and positive force into the world. (Finish)
