  The Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China closed in Beijing on October 29. The communiqué adopted on the same day outlined the latest blueprint for the future direction of China's economic and social development.

  At the critical moment when the world is entering a period of turbulent change and the world is facing the second wave of the threat of the epidemic, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China reviewed and approved the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the 2035 Long-Term Goals "Proposal", releases new information about China's development, and also contains new opportunities in the world.

  In the future, China will remain an important engine for world development.

  The sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic has plunged the world economy into the biggest recession since World War II. China, which was the first to encounter the virus, overcame the difficulties and obstacles, and achieved a year-on-year GDP growth of 0.7% in the first three quarters, and the cumulative growth rate turned from negative to positive.

As many overseas investment institutions have recently evaluated, the Chinese economy has become a “bright touch” of the global economy under the impact of the new crown epidemic.

  This is also true for the entire "13th Five-Year Plan" period.

As the main stabilizer and source of power, China has contributed about 30% to the world economic growth for many years. The total economic volume this year is expected to exceed RMB 100 trillion, which has nothing to do with boosting the world economy.

As the most populous country, China has not only stabilized its annual grain output at more than 1300 billion jin for five consecutive years, and solved the food problem of about one-fifth of the world’s population. It will also achieve all rural poor people out of poverty this year under the current standards. Achieve relevant poverty reduction and sustainable development goals 10 years ahead of schedule.

As the largest developing country, China not only exceeded the $10,000 per capita GDP in 2019, but also built the world’s largest social security system, with basic medical insurance covering more than 1.3 billion people and basic pension insurance covering nearly 1 billion. people.

  Based on the current and future periods, the Fifth Plenary Session made an important judgment and pointed out that China's development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's economic development will achieve new results, and significant progress will be made in the construction of a modern economic system; by 2035, China's total economic aggregate and per capita income of urban and rural residents will reach a new level, and a modern economic system will be built , GDP per capita has reached the level of moderately developed countries, and the middle-income group has expanded significantly.

It is foreseeable that under the guidance of these goals, China's sustained development will provide important opportunities for the post-epidemic recovery of the world economy.

  In the future, China will continue to unswervingly promote reform and opening up.

  It is worth noting that the Communiqué of the Fifth Plenary Session mentioned "reform" 17 times and "opening up" 11 times.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China has made major breakthroughs in comprehensively deepening reforms, opening to the outside world has continued to expand, and the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has achieved fruitful results.

Up to now, China has signed 200 cooperation documents for the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” with 138 countries and 30 international organizations, and jointly carried out more than 2,000 cooperation projects, and the cooperation has continued to deepen and become solid.

  During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China will take new steps in reform and opening up, and a new higher-level open economic system will basically take shape; by 2035, China will form a new pattern of opening up.

In this process, China’s efforts to build a high-level socialist market economic system and wider, broader, and deeper opening up to the outside world will undoubtedly create a better business environment for companies from various countries interested in investing in China. Conducive to promoting international cooperation and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.

  In the future, China will still promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

  Faced with a century of changes in the accelerated evolution, the Fifth Plenary Session made an important judgment and pointed out that peace and development are still the themes of the times, and the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

With the profound adjustment of the international power balance and the increasingly complex international environment, how China handles its relations with the world affects the sensitive nerves of all countries. The Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee clearly indicated to the world that China will continue to adhere to the principle of peace, development, cooperation and win-win foreign affairs. Principles of relations, actively create a good external environment, and promote the construction of a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind.

As Singaporean expert Ma Kaishuo said, China is a beneficiary of a liberal international order and does not want to overthrow this order. China's development brings opportunities rather than threats to the world.

  Through the Fifth Plenary Session, China has released a clear signal of gathering development and stability, advancing reform and opening up, and advocating peace and win-win results, injecting rare stability and certainty into the turbulent international environment.

Observers pointed out that in the new journey of building a modern country, China will create more opportunities for the world, and the world will also give China more applause.
