At present, in the face of profound and complex changes in the world pattern, China is accelerating the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other. How China will build a new development pattern, how China will build a new development pattern will have an impact on the world economy, and what new needs will be put forward by building a new development pattern for comprehensively deepening reform and opening up have become important topics of concern at home and abroad.

In this context, the 87th China Reform International Forum on "Building a New Development Pattern for China and the World", jointly sponsored by the China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute, bank of China, China Daily and the China Public Diplomacy Association, was held in Haikou, Hainan on October 30. Experts and scholars from relevant ministries and commissions of the state and more than 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Cambodia, Malaysia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway and other countries, as well as international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme, UNESCO, the World Bank, and the Secretariat for China-Japan-Korea Cooperation, attended the meeting in a combination of online and offline.

Feng Fei, governor of the People's Government of Hainan Province, said in his speech that under the new development pattern, Hainan is focusing on creating an important intersection of domestic and international dual circulation, will strengthen the strategic function of the free trade port entrusted by the state, do a good job of attracting and allocating global resources "reactor", and become an important strategic fulcrum for expanding domestic consumption.

Zhou Shuchun, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president and editor-in-chief of China Daily, pointed out that "opening up," as China's "biggest reform" in the new situation, is China's new competitive advantage. It is necessary to regard shaping and disseminating China's image as an "open big country" as the "China of the world" as an important task of new special significance, constantly explaining China's image as a "supporter of economic globalization," "an open world economy builder," and "a provider of public goods for global development," and creating a good public opinion environment for China to build a new development pattern and promote modernization.

Liu Liange, chairman of the Bank of China, said in his speech that achieving carbon neutrality is a solemn commitment made by China to the world and an important task proposed in the 14th Five-Year Plan. China is actively starting from the aspects of energy, production, consumption, capital and other aspects to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. Bank of China strives to practice the concept of green development, provides a series of green financial products, carries out service innovation, and plans to provide no less than 1 trillion yuan of financial support for the green industry in the next five years.

Wu Hailong, president of the China Public Diplomacy Association, pointed out that the future and destiny of all countries in the world today are closely linked, and the convergence of interests is unprecedented. China will always adhere to the principle of "mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation" to handle relations with other countries in the world.

Chi Fulin, president of the China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute, said in his speech that China's efforts to build a new development pattern and firmly promote high-level opening up are not only important measures to expand domestic demand, maintain sustained economic growth, and promote global economic stability and recovery, but also a strategic choice for deep integration into the world economy and the process of economic globalization. First, China is the world's most potential large market, still in the critical period of economic transformation and upgrading, facing greater pressure in the short term, but there is huge potential in the medium and long term; the optimization and adjustment of China's industrial structure will form a huge market space; the release of the potential of the Chinese market is a major benefit to the global market. Second, China is an important promoter of an open world economy. China will promote the integration of high-level opening up and high-quality market economy, will promote the construction of a new system of high-level open economy with institutional opening-up, and will accelerate the process of opening up trade in services. Third, China is the "main engine" of global economic growth. It is estimated that in the next five years, China's contribution rate to world economic growth is still expected to remain at 25% to 30%, which will continue to be an important stabilizer and power source for global economic growth. China's development needs the world, the world's development needs China, and to cope with the serious impact of the global crisis, it is necessary to discuss, govern and share global governance.

November 1 marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the China (Hainan) Reform and Development Research Institute. Wang Mengkui, former director of the Development Research Center of the State Council and director of the Academic Committee of the Central Reform Institute, pointed out that the Central Reform Institute is based in Hainan and, after 30 years of efforts, has become a Chinese reform think tank with considerable influence in the country and well-known abroad. Today, China's development has been closely linked with the outside world, and the development of the world economy is inseparable from China, an increasingly developing large economy. In the face of profound and complex changes in the international pattern, only by firmly taking the road of reform and opening up and adhering to a high level of opening up can China smoothly achieve the grand goal of modernization.

At the plenary session, the participating experts discussed "China's construction of a new development pattern and its impact on the world economy". Zhang Junkuo, deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, pointed out that speeding up the realization of scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement has become the primary task in building a new development pattern, and to this end it is necessary to properly handle the relationship between continuing to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological management system and attaching importance to optimizing the general environment for scientific development, the relationship between applied research and basic research, the relationship between government financial input and social pluralistic input, the relationship between the new national system and the innovation ecosystem, the relationship between the consolidation of quantitative superiority and the optimization of the structure of the contingent of scientific and technological innovation talents, and the relationship between independent security and open cooperation in foreign relations. Wang Chao, president of the Chinese-People Diplomacy Association, proposed that China will continue to enhance the level of opening up, expand the space for international cooperation, create a world-class business environment, and promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation. Liu Wei, president of Chinese Min University, pointed out that the new development pattern requires real innovation and cooperation, a high level of openness, and the ability to maintain China's foreign investment. Zheng Yongnian, Dean of the Institute for Advanced Study in Global and Contemporary China, University of Chinese, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, pointed out that in the 40 years of reform and opening up, China has achieved three sustainable economic development, sustainable social stability and sustainable institutional support. In the face of major changes unprecedented in a century, China still has to rely on reform to build a new pattern. Fan Gang, president of the China (Shenzhen) Comprehensive Development Research Institute, believes that the domestic cycle is not only to expand domestic demand, but more importantly, to achieve self-scientific and technological innovation on the supply side to solve the current short board problem. Reiser, director of the World Bank's China-Mongolia-Korea Bureau, pointed out that if China succeeds in shifting domestic demand to consumption while maintaining a growth rate of 4% to 5% over the next 10 years, Chinese consumers can become the locomotive of the world economy. Zhang Yunling, a member of the Faculty of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the new strategy of double circulation will change the driving mechanism of its own development and its external impact, but unlike the post-industrialization model of developed countries, it cannot take the structural adjustment of industrial transfer.

The forum also focused on "international economic and financial trends under the great changes", "comprehensively deepening reform and opening up under the construction of a new development pattern", "The general trend of China's opening up and its impact on the world economy", "the trend of major country relations", "policies and institutional arrangements for an aging society", etc., and opened "Hainan Free Trade Port in Building a New Development Pattern", "International Seminar on Jointly Building Blue Economic Partnership", "China-ASEAN Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum", "Expert Symposium on Building a New Development Pattern in Northeast China" and other thematic discussions.
