China's economy is resilient
China's GDP will grow by 5.2% in 2023.
Tian Fei, president of the Australia-China People's Friendly Exchange Association, said that amid the turbulent international situation and sluggish world economic recovery, this hard-won achievement demonstrates the strength, resilience and confidence of the Chinese economy.
Yuan Yi, executive vice president of the Federation of Overseas Chinese in Russia, said that the government work report used a series of data to summarize the fruitful results of China's economic and social development in the past year.
In the face of an extremely complex international environment and the arduous and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, this demonstrates the responsibility of the Chinese government and the confidence of the Chinese economy.
Su Xinfeng, chairman of the Australia-China Business Federation, said that in the context of increasing global economic uncertainty, the stability and growth potential of the Chinese economy play an important supporting role in global market confidence.
Shared development benefits the world
Zhang Jinxiong, General Chairman of the Indonesian Chinese Entrepreneur Association, noted that this government work report once again mentioned the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”.
He said that last year, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway jointly built by Indonesia and China was officially put into operation, which became the best business card of cooperation between the two countries and also allowed everyone to see the future and potential of Indonesia in infrastructure, especially high-speed railway construction.
Su Xinfeng said that through the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and other international cooperation mechanisms, China has conducted extensive cooperation with countries around the world in infrastructure construction, trade and investment, and promoted global economic connectivity and common prosperity.
Chen Jindon, chairman of the Thai Overseas Chinese Business Think Tank, said that the Chinese government will continue to promote Chinese-style modernization by accelerating the development of new productive forces and expanding high-level opening up to the outside world. “China has always proven with practical actions that its determination to expand high-level opening up to the outside world will not change. Our determination to share development opportunities with the world will not change."
Exchanges and cooperation gather strength among overseas Chinese
When talking about the unique advantages of overseas Chinese, Yuan Yi said that overseas Chinese understand the situation in the host country, understand the language, and have resources. They are the best preachers and demonstrators, and they are also the beneficiaries.
Zhang Jinxiong said that as an overseas Chinese, he is willing to actively play the role of bridge and link, unite more overseas Chinese and Indonesian friendly people, and contribute to promoting friendly cooperation between the two countries.
Zhang Xiaochun, president of the Brazilian Association for the Promotion of China’s Peaceful Reunification, said that overseas Chinese in Brazil will actively play a role as a channel connecting China and the world, tell Chinese stories well, and strive to promote people-to-people connections between China and Brazil.
