Let the world see China's sincerity
The fourth session of the CIIE is the embodiment of China's commitment to continuously expanding its opening up to the outside world. President Xi Jinping's keynote speech demonstrated China's responsibility and responsibility to the world. As the world's second largest economy, China has made important contributions to promoting the recovery of the world economy. Today's China continues to expand its opening up from the standpoint of a community with a shared future for mankind. In the current new world pattern full of uncertainty, Shanghai, as an important window for China to connect with the world, undertakes the heavy responsibility of home diplomacy for China's voice. Commonality, empathy, and common development will surely enable the world to see China's sincerity and Shanghai's sincerity.

The "activist" who warms the world
Under the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the world economy is fragile and sluggish, how to expand opening up, maintain free trade and promote global common development has become a difficult problem facing all countries in the world, China has taken the lead in setting an example, issuing new calls, proposing new ideas, promoting new cooperation, and making China's contribution to the recovery of the world economy. President Xi Jinping's keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 4th China International Import Expo is a vivid portrayal of China's plan, China's road, China's actions and China's wisdom, showing China's firm belief in promoting global free trade and economic globalization, its ambition to promote high-quality development with a high level of openness, and its lofty ambition to improve the global economic governance system to promote global development. In this difficult world situation, there are those who are domineering, those who are in the same party and cut down the different, those who take their neighbors as their neighbors, those who hesitate to watch, and those who are alone. The international community needs more "activists" like China who embrace the ideal of a community with a shared future for mankind and warm the world.

China's world sentiment and the responsibility of a big country
President Xi Jinping's keynote speech was far-reaching and rich in content, fully demonstrating China's world sentiments and responsibility as a big country, providing Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions and Chinese contributions to solve many problems facing the world at present, and releasing a positive signal for the recovery of the world economy after the epidemic. China has "believed in what it says and will do what it says, and it will do what it wants" to fulfill and exceed its WTO accession commitments. Today, in the face of the problems and challenges of the century-old changes, the epidemic of the century, and the setbacks encountered in economic globalization, China still makes a solemn commitment to work with the international community as always to safeguard true multilateralism, abide by the principles of the WTO, share China's big market opportunities with the world, continue to promote high-level opening up, actively participate in global governance, and provide vaccines and other global public goods. The CIIE is another major public good provided by China to the international community, embodying the spirit of mutual benefit and win-win openness and inclusiveness.

Share development opportunities with the world
In his keynote speech, President Xi Jinping reiterated China's firm determination to uphold true multilateralism, continuously expand high-level openness, share development opportunities with the world, and promote economic globalization towards a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction. This is not only a solemn commitment to the international community, but also a profound interpretation of contemporary China's relations with the world.
Practice has proved that China's development is inseparable from the world, and the development of the world is inseparable from China. A prosperous, open, progressive and confident China not only benefits the Chinese people, but also is a rare market opportunity for the world. Only when countries continue to expand opening up, practice the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, abandon outdated thinking such as trade protectionism and unilateralism, and promote the inclusive development of the multilateral trading system can we truly safeguard and expand the common interests of the people of the world and lay a solid economic foundation for world peace and development.

The Expo injects new momentum into the world
Under the background of the challenge of anti-globalization and the increasing downward pressure on the global economy, the Expo has injected new momentum into the stable recovery of the world economy and provided an important platform for all countries to share China's development opportunities. At the same time, China overcame the obstacles of the epidemic to continue to hold the Expo, demonstrating China's strong determination to expand its opening up to the outside world, the win-win concept of unswervingly promoting common development, and the unswerving responsibility of a major country to provide public goods to the world. One of the highlights of the Expo is the emergence of many new industries, new formats and new models, which shows the major progress of the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the development of digital industries in recent years, and shows the broad prospects for the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy.

Send a positive signal to the world
From the perspective of strengthening and improving global economic governance, President Xi Jinping's keynote speech sent three signals to the world: in the context of the major external shock of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China plays the role of a fixed star for the global fight against the epidemic and the stability of the industrial chain supply chain with a more open international temperament, especially the provision of more public goods; China, which has been deeply integrated into the global economic and trade system, will take the 20th anniversary of its accession to the WTO as an opportunity to integrate with international high-standard economic and trade rules. As a commodity, trade, service and technology display and trading platform that embodies the consensus of high-level openness and high-quality development in the 21st century, CIIE will surely become a lever of strength to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
(Zhang Yugui, Dean of School of International Finance and Trade, Shanghai University of Foreign Chinese)
Openness is a distinctive symbol of contemporary China
President Xi Jinping pointed out: "Openness is a distinctive symbol of contemporary China. "As far as the construction of modern capital markets with Chinese characteristics and the development of multi-level capital markets are concerned, expanding the opening up of capital markets to the outside world, achieving high-level two-way interconnection, further expanding institutional access and market access, strengthening China's allocation of financial resources in the world, and further promoting the "going out" of Chinese financial institutions are of positive significance for promoting open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win economic globalization.
(Zhu Xiaoneng, Vice Dean of School of Finance, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics)
China is determined to promote globalization
President Xi Jinping once again clarified China's determination to firmly promote globalization. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has also demonstrated its sincerity with practical actions, contributing to the global overcoming of the epidemic and the fair distribution of epidemic prevention supplies. In the past two years of epidemic prevention and control, developed countries have issued huge amounts of money and high fiscal deficits. China, the first to overcome the epidemic and the earliest to resume the normalization of production, has contributed to the improvement of the global industrial chain and the stability of the currencies of major countries, otherwise global inflation will become more and more intense, endangering the lives of people around the world. At the same time, the comparative advantage of China's economy has changed from the past labor advantage to the super-large-scale market advantage of 1.4 billion people, and the Chinese market has provided huge development space for global economic recovery. Holding an import expo in Shanghai is, first, to show China's posture of further reform and opening up; second, to enable a large number of foreign enterprises to truly feel China's huge market and then participate in the strong Chinese economy.

Hold high the banner of multilateralism
President Xi Jinping's keynote speech not only made the world see the infinite charm and vitality of the Expo, but also fully demonstrated the ability of the Chinese government and people to cope with various risks and challenges and the responsibility and responsibility for common development and building a community with a shared future for mankind. In today's world, where the haze of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is not dissipating and the global economic recovery is weak, it is really valuable that China can overcome the various pressures and challenges of epidemic prevention and control to hold the fourth CIIE as scheduled, which shows the strength and confidence from China to the world. As a responsible major country, China will continue to practice what it preaches, allowing the world to share the opportunities of the Chinese market by expanding a high level of opening up, while holding high the banner of multilateralism, firmly safeguarding the common interests of the world, and injecting new momentum into global economic recovery and international cooperation.
