China News Service, Washington, April 5 (Xinhua) Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng said in an interview with American media on the 5th that opening up should be two-way and reciprocal. It is not a "one-man show" of one country, but a "chorus" of all countries. China has opened its arms to the world, and other countries should do the same.
Xie Feng made the above remarks in an exclusive interview with the US "Newsweek" on the same day regarding "new productivity" and China's economic situation.
When asked whether "new productivity" would play a role in improving Sino-US economic and trade relations, Xie Feng said that capital "votes with its feet." As the formation of new productive forces accelerates in China and various favorable measures are introduced one after another, some far-sighted entrepreneurs in the United States and other foreign countries have keenly sensed this rare historical opportunity and are taking action.
He emphasized that restricting the flow of knowledge, technology, talents and innovation elements with "small courtyards and high walls", suppressing other countries' competitive platforms and production capacity with "decoupling and breaking links", and monopolizing global innovation resources will inevitably exacerbate the technological gap and hinder the world develop.
Regarding the statement that "the new development direction may overburden China's economy and that China's long-term rapid economic growth has 'peaked'", Xie Feng responded that some people accuse China of overcapacity posing a threat to other countries. This is a hypocrisy. proposition. Globally, high-quality production capacity is not a surplus, but a serious shortage. Whether countries around the world, especially developing countries, can benefit from the development of high-quality production capacity is a test of human conscience and ability.
He said that new productivity is a new driving force for China's high-quality development and a new driving force for the world's sustainable development. High-level opening up to the outside world is the only way for China to develop, and will also bring rare development dividends to the world. The constantly upgrading and expanding ultra-large-scale market is a solid foundation for China's economic growth, and it is also a historical opportunity for win-win cooperation for all countries in the world.
Xie Feng pointed out that what people should worry about is not whether China's economy will "peak", but whether they will miss out on new huge "China opportunities." It is not whether China's economy will "collapse", but "decoupling and disconnection" will hinder global economic recovery and geopolitical conflicts will subvert the international peace that has lasted for more than 80 years.
