On January 17, 2017, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech entitled "Sharing the Responsibility of the Times and Promoting Global Development" at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. He gave insights into the deep-seated problems faced by economic globalization and pointed out economic globalization The development direction of China demonstrates China’s firm position in promoting economic globalization.
Four years ago, this keynote speech was praised as "Sunshine in the Winter"; for four years, this speech has been remembered by the international community and continues to inspire mankind's in-depth thinking about economic globalization.
"Historically, economic globalization is the objective requirement of the development of social productive forces and the inevitable result of technological progress. It is not artificially created by which people or countries." "Economic globalization has provided a strong impetus for world economic growth and promoted commodity and The flow of capital, the advancement of technology and civilization, and the exchanges of people from all over the world" "Economic globalization has indeed brought about new problems, but we cannot just kill economic globalization, but must adapt and guide economic globalization." It is the correct way to look at economic globalization, and it is also an important foundation for continuing to promote open cooperation so that economic globalization continues to serve the improvement of human welfare.
The more difficult the time is, the more you need the guidance of the light of thought, and the more you face the crisis, the more you can demonstrate the power of truth to penetrate time and space.
Comprehending President Xi Jinping's important exposition on economic globalization can see the hope and path for the recovery and development of the world economy.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, international exchanges and personnel exchanges have been severely blocked, global trade and investment have fallen sharply, and the world economy has been hit by the supply side and the demand side.
Some people have thrown up the argument that the global industrial chain and supply chain are "off the chain" and that "economic globalization has ended", and anti-globalization thoughts are surging.
But as Kenneth Rogoff, the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, pointed out, the “by-product” of the refusal to open up is not only a slowdown in growth, but also a sharp drop in the national income of all countries.
The epidemic has caused resistance to economic globalization, but the general trend of countries opening up and toward cooperation remains unchanged.
The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are accelerating the evolution, constantly releasing new impetus for the development of economic globalization.
The Harvard Business Review of the United States believes that technological changes are taking place in areas such as e-commerce, video conferencing and robotics, and these changes may promote economic globalization.
A report released by the World Economic Forum pointed out that global trade is undergoing technological changes during the epidemic prevention and control period. Trade technology may promote the cross-border flow of knowledge-intensive products and services. Technological progress can help reduce the gap between developed and developing countries, and between small and large enterprises. Gaps, and even provide opportunities for leaps and bounds.
All these indicate that economic globalization is facing new development opportunities, and that promoting economic globalization in the right direction can help solve development problems.
"Human history tells us that it is not terrible to have problems. The terrible thing is that we dare not face the problem and cannot find the way to solve the problem. Faced with the opportunities and challenges brought by economic globalization, the correct choice is to make full use of all opportunities and cooperate. Respond to all challenges and guide the trend of economic globalization." The epidemic is still spreading and the world economic recovery is unstable and uneven. The most urgent task is to join hands to fight the epidemic, unblock the world economy, guide the trend of economic globalization, and develop for the recovery of the world economy. Provide motivation.
The "prescription" that President Xi Jinping prescribed for the world economy 4 years ago is also very "symptomatic": insist on innovation-driven and create a dynamic growth model; insist on coordination and linkage to create an open and win-win cooperation model; insist on advancing with the times , To create a fair and reasonable governance model; adhere to fairness and tolerance, and create a balanced and inclusive development model.
Obviously, this is to focus on the pain points and difficult points and grasp the key "prescription of the right medicine."
China is a beneficiary of economic globalization, but also a contributor.
China will unswervingly expand high-level opening up and take concrete actions to promote the construction of an open world economy.
In the past four years, China’s pilot free trade zones have increased to 21; three consecutive China International Import Expos have been held, and the Chinese market is becoming the world’s market, shared market, and everyone’s market; China is accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, not only for China’s economic development Opening up space also adds impetus to the recovery and growth of the world economy.
China has held two "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forums to join hands with other countries to build a high-quality "Belt and Road"; China actively promotes the signing of a regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement, and the China-EU investment agreement negotiations are completed on schedule, enhancing the international community’s understanding of economic globalization And confidence in free trade.
China firmly chooses to work with other countries in the world for mutual benefit, win-win results and common development, and has eloquently proved what it means to "work hard without fail; what the wisdom does, nothing fails."
History is created by the brave, and it is even more necessary to take the right direction at critical moments.
People should firmly believe that as long as all countries firmly establish a sense of a community with a shared future for mankind, work together, take responsibility, and help each other to overcome difficulties, they will be able to promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced, and win-win direction. It will definitely make the world better and the people happier.
