On March 27, a meeting in Beijing was particularly eye-catching.

　　On the same day, Chinese President Xi Jinping met collectively with representatives from the U.S. business community and strategic academia at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

　　In this meeting, Xi Jinping said bluntly: China's development has gone through various difficulties and challenges to get to where it is today. It did not collapse because of the "China collapse theory" in the past, and it will not peak because of the "China peak theory" now.

　　In the context of certain arguments that continue to denigrate China, Xi Jinping's statement has attracted attention.

　　Why didn’t China collapse or peak?

　　One is strength.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that China's economy is healthy and sustainable.

　　Reasonable growth in quantity goes hand in hand with effective improvement in quality, forming the dual support of China's economic strength.

　　On the one hand, China's economy grew by 5.2% year-on-year last year, ranking among the best among major economies. The increase alone exceeded 6 trillion yuan, equivalent to the annual economic aggregate of a medium-sized country, and contributed more than 30% to world economic growth.

　　On the other hand, China's economic structure continues to be optimized. Emerging industries such as high-tech industries, green economy, and digital economy are booming. The export volume of the "three new items" has exceeded the trillion yuan mark. The formation of new productive forces has accelerated, injecting new energy into economic growth. power.

　　Both quantity and quality have improved, and it is still the world's largest engine, showing the certainty of China's stable economic growth.

　　Second, it has potential.

　　China has the institutional advantages of a socialist market economy, the demand advantages of a very large-scale market, the supply advantages of a complete industrial system, and the talent advantages of a large number of high-quality workers and entrepreneurs... Xi Jinping said at the APEC Business Leaders Summit in 2023 The written speech deeply analyzed the advantages of China's economy.

　　These advantages give China's economy strong endogenous power, resilience, and potential, providing a solid foundation for "stability" and broad space for "advance."

　　Xi Jinping said in this meeting that he will continue to promote high-quality development and continue to advance Chinese-style modernization.

　　The third is motivation.

　　Reform and opening up is an important magic weapon for contemporary China to make great strides to catch up with the times. China has always emphasized "eating the food of reform" and "taking the road of openness". On the one hand, it deepens market-oriented reforms to stimulate market vitality and social creativity; on the other hand, it expands high-level opening up to the outside world and shares development opportunities with the world.

　　"We are planning and implementing a series of major measures to comprehensively deepen reform." Xi Jinping emphasized that China's reform will not stop and its opening up will not stop.

　　The continuous deepening of reform and opening up will continue to provide a source of power for China's economic development.

　　Strength, potential, and motivation constitute the cornerstone, confidence, and source of China's steady progress—

looking at China from three dimensions allows us to view both the present and the future.

　　"China's development prospects are bright, and we have the confidence and confidence." Xi Jinping pointed out when meeting with representatives from the U.S. business community and strategic academia.

　　Blackstone Group, Bloomberg Group, FedEx, Qualcomm... Many representatives of the American business community who participated in the collective meeting are China's long-term partners.

　　This is President Xi Jinping’s first face-to-face communication with American people in Beijing since the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States in San Francisco in November 2023.

　　At that time in San Francisco, Xi Jinping's statement that "the next 'China' will be China" sparked heated discussion.

　　This time in Beijing, Xi Jinping welcomed “continue investing in China, deepening cultivation in China, and winning in China.”

　　Xi Jinping's exchanges with them clearly demonstrated that no matter how the international situation evolves, China's attitude of openness and cooperation has always been consistent.

　　Invest in China, develop deeply in China, and win in China, this is Xi Jinping’s message and it is also the consensus of the international business community.

　　As American people who participated in the collective meeting that day said, a strong and prosperous China is a positive energy for the world. (over)
