In the first half of the year, China's GDP increased by 12.7% year-on-year, foreign trade imports and exports in the first seven months increased by 24.5% year-on-year, attracted foreign investment increased by 30.9% year-on-year, successfully held the International Fair for Trade in Services, and injected strong impetus and new momentum into the recovery of the world economy.

Cheng Jingye stressed that China has always adhered to the concept of a community of human health and actively implemented its commitment to vaccines as a global public good. Up to now, more than 1.2 billion doses of vaccines and stock solutions have been provided to more than 100 countries and international organizations, ranking first in the world, and we will strive to provide 2 billion doses of vaccines to the outside world throughout the year. In addition to donating US$100 million to the COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan, China will donate another 100 million doses of vaccines to developing countries free of charge during the year. All these have made important contributions to promoting the equitable access of vaccines and strengthening international anti-epidemic cooperation.
