Like the previous two sessions, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the third CIIE on the evening of November 4.
The opening of the CIIE coincides with the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China just making strategic arrangements for China's future economic and social development.
The "Recommendations" of the plan adopted by the plenary session clearly stated that
"insist on opening up to the outside world in a wider range, in a wider area, and at a deeper level
.
"
This is exactly the important theme of President Xi's keynote speech.
A consistent China commitment
Throughout the three CIIE speeches,
“open”
is the highest frequency word that remains unchanged, with an average of 32 occurrences per session.
"Holding the China International Import Expo is a major decision made by China focusing on promoting a new round of high-level opening up to the outside world. It is a major move by China to actively open its market to the world." In the
speech of the first CIIE, President Xi Jinping pointed out that " The relationship between "open" and the CIIE.
Undoubtedly, openness has become a distinctive symbol of contemporary China.
Over the past 40 years, China's economic development has been achieved under open conditions, and the high-quality development of China's economy in the future must also be carried out under more open conditions.
"China will always be a large and dynamic market for all countries to expand business opportunities" "The Chinese market is so big, everyone is welcome to come and see" "China has a population of 1.4 billion and a middle-income group of more than 400 million. It is the world's most potential big market"
… …
In three speeches, President Xi Jinping has repeatedly "spoken for the strength" of the Chinese market; in recent years, he has made solemn promises on multiple occasions that China's door to opening up will not be closed, but will only open wider.

The door is opened wider and wider, and the CIIE is getting better and better. It has become an international public product shared globally.
The first two CIIEs achieved an intentional turnover of more than US$120 billion; even though the third CIIE was affected by the epidemic, the exhibition area of corporate business exhibitions still exceeded the previous one, and the number of Fortune 500 exhibitors reached the previous scale.
The current epidemic is spreading in many parts of the world, and the CIIE is coming as scheduled, reflecting China's sincere desire to share market opportunities with the world and promote world economic recovery, as well as China's policy orientation of continuous reform and openness.
"World's", "Shared" and "Everyone's"
-this is the Chinese market that President Xi Jinping has expected, declaring China's open mind to continue to develop with the world.
China action in the same line
In his speech at the third CIIE, President Xi Jinping showed the world an "open report card":
In the past year, the series of measures for China to expand opening up announced by President Xi Jinping at the second CIIE have been fully implemented.
"Despite the impact of the epidemic, China's pace of opening up is still accelerating this year."
President Xi Jinping said.
Take the Foreign Investment Law as an example. President Xi Jinping promised at the first meeting that
“China will speed up the introduction of foreign investment laws and regulations and improve an open and transparent foreign-related legal system”
;
The second time it is clear that
"Foreign Investment Law will be implemented on January 1 next year"
;
At the third time, it said that
"this year, China has implemented the Foreign Investment Law and related supporting regulations, further reducing the negative list of foreign investment access"
...
A promise of gold, the hoof is fast and steady.
China's unparalleled pace
"Implement a high-level opening to the outside world and open up a new situation of win-win cooperation"; "Form a new pattern of opening up, and participate in international economic cooperation and new competitive advantages are significantly enhanced
.
"
The "Proposal" adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China describes a new blueprint for China's opening up to the outside world in the next 5 years or 15 years.
The third CIIE opened a new window to observe China's new future.
How to build a new pattern of opening up?
How can the new advantages be enhanced?
President Xi Jinping’s speech revealed a clear signal.
"It is estimated that the cumulative import value of goods in the next 10 years is expected to exceed 22 trillion US dollars."
"China will accelerate the development of new business models and models such as cross-border e-commerce, and foster new momentum for foreign trade."
"China will effectively give play to the leading role of free trade pilot zones and free trade ports, and introduce a negative list of cross-border service trade"
......
A more open China is coming to us.
The epidemic will eventually pass, and the pace of development will not stop.
Comprehensively increasing the level of opening up is an inevitable trend for China's high-quality economic development and deep integration into the world economy.
