Xinhua News Agency reporter

Today's world is chaotic and intertwined, and the question of the times of "what is wrong with the world and what should we do" echoes around the world. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China systematically summarized the "success code" of China's governance and drew a grand blueprint for China's future development, which not only opened the expedition of hundreds of millions of Chinese people to full of glory and dreams, but also actively answered the questions of the times and responded to world concerns with practical actions with the whole world in mind, and provided the international community with multi-dimensional Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions.

In the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this year's Chinese Two Sessions once again attracted the attention of the world, and a large number of foreign journalists came to China to report. It can be seen from many foreign media reports that the international community has a deeper and more comprehensive perception and understanding of the value orientation and operational logic behind China's governance. This is a recognition of China's governance and an expectation of China's new actions. The Mexican Herald said that China's governance model has increasingly become an important factor in global development and international relations.

Chinese-style modernization provides new impetus for mankind to explore the path of modernization

"Chinese-style modernization breaks the myth of 'modernization = Westernization', shows another picture of modernization, expands the path choices of developing countries to modernization, and provides Chinese solutions for mankind's exploration of a better social system."

After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chinese-style modernization became a hot word in the international community. Xinhua News Agency recently conducted a questionnaire survey of overseas experts, scholars and political and business people, and "Chinese-style modernization" is one of the contents that the international community wants to know more about China.

Chinese-style modernization has set a model for independent modernization and injected confidence into the modernization of late-developing countries. Realizing modernization is the common pursuit of the peoples of the world. But so far, the combined population of industrialized developed countries and regions is less than 1 billion, and most developing countries have not yet crossed the threshold of modernization. The modernization of a country of more than 1.4 billion people as a whole would be an unprecedented feat in human history and of immense world significance. Huang Weixiong, dean of New Zealand Business School, believes that every step of Chinese-style modernization will have a worldwide impact. Benin's President Talon said, "China has set an example and inspired me a lot. "China's path, independence and good governance inspire all developing countries, and China's example shows that development is something that all countries can strive to achieve.

Chinese-style modernization has solved many problems in the development of human society and provided valuable practical experience for the cause of human modernization. Looking back on the process of exploration, independence, people first, peaceful development, openness and inclusiveness, unity and struggle... The "keywords" of modernization condense the experience of the CPC in leading the Chinese people for a century of exploration and arduous practice, and bring important enlightenment to all countries in the world, especially the vast number of developing countries. Chen Gang, assistant director of the Institute of East Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, believes that Chinese-style modernization is a new development model that has reference significance for other countries with similar national conditions or similar stages of development.

China's high-quality development has injected new momentum into the common prosperity of the world

If China is good, the world will be better. China's economic development has reached a new level, with the GDP increasing to 121 trillion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 5.2% in five years, achieving medium-high speed growth and moving towards high-quality development on the basis of a high base. Sitaram, a reporter from India's Mumbai Courier, who reported on China's two sessions, said that the world has seen China's positive development momentum and the broad opportunities brought by China's economic transformation and upgrading, and China's high-quality economic development will inject stability and positive energy into the world.

Focusing on high-quality development, China has deployed strategies such as building a high-level socialist market economic system, building a modern industrial system, comprehensively promoting rural revitalization, promoting coordinated regional development, and promoting high-level opening up, and has drawn blueprints such as manufacturing power, quality power, aerospace power, transportation power, network power, and digital China... This series of high-quality development policies and strategies conform to the needs of China's development and transformation and create new development dividends for the world. German economist Felix Somerville-Schalf said that China's prosperity and development will benefit the world.

China unswervingly promotes high-quality development, promotes supply-side structural reform, accelerates the conversion of old and new kinetic energy, stimulates market innovation vitality and green development momentum, and opens up a new blue ocean for global enterprises to invest. Ms. Jiang, Chairman of Deloitte China, an internationally renowned accounting firm, said that when foreign companies first entered China, they regarded China as the "world's factory", and then gradually set up R&D centers to continuously improve the added value of the industrial chain in China. Nowadays, the demand in the Chinese market continues to expand and accelerate transformation, promoting a new round of "localization" process for foreign-funded enterprises, enabling them to strive to enhance the competitiveness of products and technologies, forming a situation of competition and cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises.

China's high-level opening up to the outside world shares new development opportunities with the world

China's development benefits the world, and China's development cannot be separated from the world. Xinhua News Agency's overseas questionnaire survey shows that "promoting high-level opening up" is a hot spot that overseas people pay close attention to China's future development plans and measures.

China has solidly promoted high-level opening-up, given full play to its market and resource advantages to develop itself, and provided the world with valuable cooperation opportunities and greater development space with practical opening-up measures. Today, China has become a major trading partner of more than 140 countries and regions, ranking first in the world in terms of total trade in goods, attracting foreign capital and foreign investment in the forefront of the world, and forming a pattern of opening up to the outside world in a larger scope, wider fields and deeper level. According to the World Open Report 2022, China's openness index increased by 5.6% from 2012 to 2020, "becoming an important force in promoting economic globalization".

Promulgating regulations for the implementation of the Foreign Investment Law to continuously optimize the foreign investment environment; Continue to relax market access for foreign capital, basically liberalize the manufacturing sector, and continuously improve the level of opening up of financial and other service industries; Coordinate and promote the construction of 21 pilot free trade zones and Hainan Free Trade Port, and align with international high-standard economic and trade rules; Hold a series of international economic and trade events such as the Service Trade Fair, the International Import Expo, and the Consumer Expo to build a platform for enterprises to gather all parties for exchanges and integration; High-quality implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, continuous promotion of accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement... China's opening door is getting wider and wider, the environment is getting better and better, and its services are getting better and better, and it will continue to provide opportunities for China to the world and show the openness and integration of major countries.

"China has proven to be a stable pillar of global development." Serbian veteran diplomat Živadin Jovanović said that Chinese people are cohesive, pioneering and innovative, concentrating on promoting their own development, and placing their own development in the overall development of the world, injecting impetus into the development of other countries in the world and improving the well-being of the people of the world."

China is a responsible major country and contributes positive energy to the bright future of the world

"All countries should establish the awareness of a community with a shared future for mankind, advocate peace, development, cooperation and win-win results, let unity replace division, cooperation replace confrontation, and tolerance replace exclusion, and jointly solve the issue of the times of 'what is wrong with the world and what should we do', tide over difficulties and create the future together."

From putting forward the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, to proposing global development initiatives, global security initiatives, and global civilization initiatives, from promoting the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" to promoting the construction of an open world economy... China's ideas and actions conform to the trend of the times and the hearts of the international community, and reflect China's responsibility. Sesana, vice chairman of the Laos-China Cooperation Committee, said, "Jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative and promoting the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind have brought countries closer together and provided new ideas, new solutions and new opportunities for promoting world peace and development and mutual benefit and win-win results."

No matter how the great changes unprecedented in a century evolve, how the changes in the world, the times and history unfold, China has always firmly stood on the right side of history and the side of human progress, worked hand in hand with other countries in the world, and continuously made new contributions to the progressive cause of safeguarding world peace and achieving common development. Mohammad Reza Manafi, an Iranian expert on China, said that China's adherence to a foreign policy of peace, equality and friendship reflects the value orientation of "let us develop together". The rise of China has made the world look eastward to find a secure future that promises common development and cooperation.

"As long as we walk the road together, all countries can live in harmony, cooperate for win-win results, and work together to create a better future for the world." Looking forward to the future, China on the new journey will continue to be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, a defender of international order, and a promoter of the progress of human civilization, and will consistently undertake the mission of "seeking progress for mankind and common cause for the world".
