△On November 17, Thai people waved the national flags of China and Thailand.
On the streets of Thailand, a huge electronic screen is a "Chinese red", and the Chinese and Thai characters are written "Warmly welcome His Excellency President Xi Jinping of the People's Republic of China and his wife Professor Peng Liyuan" and "Chinese and Thai family relatives", full of warm and friendly friendship; Overseas Chinese and Chinese students gathered on both sides of the street, cheering "Hello President Xi!"

Partnership is taking on a new lease of life.
For Nikhon, 43, of Le Yi province in northeastern Thailand, the Sino-Thai partnership has changed the lives of the family. Two years ago, Nikong and his wife bought a Chinese-made agricultural plant protection drone to spray pesticides and fertilizers, and now they have become well-known local drone "pilots".
"Drones have improved farmers' work efficiency, and can spray four or five times more area per day than human labor." Nikhon said that agriculture plays a pivotal role in Thailand's economic development, facing intelligent mechanization transformation in recent years, and China's drone technology has provided "acceleration" for the development of modern agriculture in Thailand.
Located in the core area of Thailand's "Eastern Economic Corridor", Thailand-China Rayong Industrial Park covers new energy, new materials, smart home and other industries. The industrial park has driven Chinese enterprises to invest more than US$4.3 billion in Thailand, with a cumulative total industrial output value of more than US$24 billion. At present, the park has more than 45,000 local employees, and when fully developed, it will create up to 100,000 jobs in Thailand. 100,000 families could benefit.
"We hope to speed up the construction of the China-Thailand railway and realize the connection with the China-Laos railway at an early date." This is the voice of many Thai people. At a railway construction site in Phra Chong District, Korat Province, Thailand, large construction machinery is working intensively, and heavy trucks are shuttling back and forth... It is the gateway from central Thailand to the northeast and the end of the first phase of the China-Thailand Railway Cooperation Project. Speeding up the construction of the China-Thailand Railway and connecting with the China-Laos Railway and implementing the development concept of China-Laos-Thailand connectivity will bring a better life to countless families.
On 15 November, the United Nations announced that the world's population had reached 8 billion.
How will the earth carry the weight of humanity? Food and energy security have become the most pressing challenges in the field of global development.
At the G20 summit, President Xi Jinping deeply analyzed that the root cause of the current crisis is not production and demand problems, but supply chain problems and international cooperation has been disrupted. "The G20 should provide necessary support to developing countries in production, storage, capital and technology. China put forward the International Food Security Cooperation Initiative at the G20 and looks forward to deepening cooperation with all parties. ”
The responsibility of a major country is not only reflected in the in-depth analysis of the problem, but also in providing practical solutions.
"Vigorously promote pragmatic cooperation and welcome more Spanish companies and products to enter the Chinese market."
"China will continue to encourage outstanding Chinese-funded enterprises to participate in major infrastructure construction projects in Indonesia, help Indonesia build a new capital and North Kalimantan Industrial Park, and expand cooperation in digital economy and green development."
"China is willing to continue to support the construction of Senegalese roads, industrial parks and other infrastructure, expand the export of Senegalese agricultural products to China, strengthen cooperation in the whole peanut industry chain and rice planting, and implement the measures of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation."
During his meetings with leaders of various countries, President Xi Jinping sincerely conveyed China's responsibility to always focus on the long-term goals and practical needs of global common development, cultivate new momentum for global development, and promote the common development and progress of all countries in the world.
At present, the scale of the digital economy has expanded and the global digital transformation has accelerated, which has become an important factor affecting the world economic pattern.
On November 16, President Xi Jinping stressed at the G20 Summit that we should work together to create an open, inclusive, fair, just and non-discriminatory environment for the development of the digital economy, promote international cooperation in digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, and release the potential of the digital economy to promote global growth.
On the road to a better future, Chinese wisdom shines.
In Mexico, a young man named Andrés Bedoya visited Bainiu Village, Zhejiang Lin'an, China's "e-commerce demonstration village", in 2019, and he was pleasantly surprised by the vitality of the countryside given by the digital economy. Soon, he brought the e-commerce "Fortune Classic" here back to his hometown thousands of miles away. In a few years, about 1,500 Mexican small and micro enterprises have embarked on the road of e-commerce.
Like Andres, there are many others who realize their dreams.
"We are no longer as worried about export orders as before, and the industrial chain adjustment brought about by RCEP has helped our agricultural products to open up more sales channels in the Chinese market." Thai coconut merchant Nalonsa was deeply touched. The RCEP negotiations lasted for eight years, and China has always been a firm driving force. As the largest RCEP economy, China's huge market will bring new business opportunities to regional enterprises and global enterprises.
In 2021, China's trade in goods with countries along the "Belt and Road" reached 11.6 trillion yuan, with direct investment of 138.45 billion yuan in countries along the route; 15,000 trains operated by China-Europe trains; Chinese enterprises completed a turnover of 578.57 billion yuan in contracted projects in countries along the route, and a number of "small but beautiful" assistance projects in the fields of people's livelihood such as poverty reduction, health and education have achieved results.
A China that is constantly moving towards modernization will surely provide more opportunities for the world, inject stronger impetus into international cooperation, and make greater contributions to the progress of all mankind!
