China News Agency, Beijing, February 23rd: Towards the future together, China and the world in a changing situation

From the "snowflake" rising to the "slight fire" gradually extinguishing, the Beijing Winter Olympics came to an end.
Under the superimposed resonance of the epidemic situation of the century and the changes of the century, this sports event of "Together to the Future" is becoming the latest epitome of Sino-foreign interaction.
Like the much-anticipated Beijing Olympics 14 years ago, the Beijing Winter Olympics will undoubtedly draw the world's attention to China again.
14 years later, through the window of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the outside world sees a China that is constantly promoting a high level of opening to the outside world, "running both ways" with the world.
It has been seen that in the fragile and tortuous recovery of the global economy, China has always taken practical actions to open up to the outside world to expand its convergence with the world's interests.
From Boao to Davos, from the Service Trade Fair to the China International Import Expo, China has shared development opportunities with other countries in the world with a shorter negative list, a better business environment, and greater institutional opening up.
"The world is good, China is good; China is good, the world is better", this vivid expression is directly reflected in the specific opening process - a series of China-Europe trains full of goods form a "steel camel caravan", one by one The "exhibition matrix" where businessmen gather has become increasingly normalized, and each foreign-related economic and trade regulation and system has been continuously implemented and improved.
At a time when globalization is under unprecedented impact, today's China, with its "actionists", has repeatedly demonstrated that China has always walked hand in hand with the world and stood on the right side of history.
In the future, how China will further open its arms and join hands with other countries to activate the spring water of the world economy is worthy of attention and expectation.
On February 20, fireworks show at the end of the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics: One Family in the World.
The Beijing Winter Olympics is also a wonderful encounter with the traditional Chinese New Year.
Through close contact, visitors from all directions also feel the warmth and friendliness of China.
When the world is suffering from the trauma of the epidemic and needs to be healed by joint efforts, China's home diplomacy at the beginning of the new year is based on the Winter Olympics narrative of "more unity" and "toward the future", showing the long-term "harmony" meaning of Sino-foreign interaction.
In the face of a century of changes, whether it is dealing with relations between major powers or managing neighboring countries, whether it is mediating regional hotspot issues or responding to global challenges, China has always adhered to the concept of a community with a shared future. to the future".
Looking at the world, challenges such as the ups and downs of the epidemic, the fragile recovery of the economy, and climate change are prominent. Only by sitting on the "Noah's Ark" in the new era can mankind have a better tomorrow.
From helping the global fight against the epidemic to fulfill the promise of 2 billion doses of vaccines, to introducing a policy system to implement the "two-carbon" goal, from proposing global development initiatives to bridge the gap between the North and the South, to actively participating in global digital governance, China has always interpreted to the world "together for the future" with actions "The Chinese Path".
Of course, with the increasing interaction between China and the outside world, how to make the world understand China is not only the mutual communication between China and the world, but also the process by which China itself understands the world.
At the National People's Congress last year, the phrase "looking at the world head-on" touched countless Chinese people and resonated.
In the eyes of observers, "looking up" means equality, neither looking down nor looking up, but accepting well-meaning criticism with a more confident attitude and responding to attacks and smears with a firmer attitude.
On February 20, at the closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the five-star red flag echoed with the snowflakes on the main torch platform of the Winter Olympics.
How to tell a real and sensible China to the outside world is also expected to continue to be the focus of public opinion at the National People's Congress this year.
From practice, it can be found that telling Chinese stories well requires wisdom and skills. When the elephants in Yunnan went all the way to the north to "walk and eat", China's good stories attracted global attention.
At the same time, sincerity and objectivity are needed more - no "beauty camera", and no "gray-black filter". The attitude of looking up is the logical starting point for opening up more possibilities.
Although the torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics has now been extinguished, the story of "a snowflake" is still being told.
Some commentators pointed out that "together to the future" has become not only the slogan of a sports event, but a clear declaration of China facing the world in a century of change.
The national two sessions are about to open, and there is reason to believe that after the two sessions, the significance of "together toward the future" for Chinese and foreign interactions will be more specific and profound.
