Commentator of Guangming Daily
"Jointly create an open and inclusive cooperation environment", "Jointly activate the momentum of innovation-led cooperation", "Jointly create a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation situation" - The 2020 China International Fair for Trade in Services Global Service Trade Summit was held on September 4, and President Xi Jinping delivered a speech. The three-point major initiative points out the path for the high-quality development of global trade in services and contributes to the recovery of the world economy under the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
The sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia has interrupted the process of economic globalization, accelerating changes in the unprecedented changes in a century, slowing down the global flow of people and factors, and increasing national barriers to trade and exchanges. Under these circumstances, China overcame difficulties to build a global service trade platform and held the 2020 Service Trade Fair, which is intended to send a strong signal to the world to start again hand in hand, reiterating the historical indication that opening up is booming and closing is declining. Only with openness as the basic attitude, innovation as the basic driving force, and cooperation as the basic path can we achieve the ultimate goal of win-win results.
Take openness as the basic attitude. No opening up and no development is both a historical experience and an economic law. Because of its unique asset-light and soft factors, the service industry needs an open, transparent, inclusive and non-discriminatory industry development ecology, and it is even more necessary for countries to work hard to reduce barriers restricting the flow of factors and promote cross-border interconnection. With the service industry as the starting point and the restoration of an open and inclusive cooperation environment, the recovery and inclusive growth of the world economy can be expected.
Innovation as the basic driving force. The new round of scientific and technological revolution, industrial change and information dividend has always been the engine of world economic development, and the new crown pneumonia epidemic has further strengthened the rise of digital technology while dampening the world economy. Telemedicine, online education, shared platforms, collaborative offices, cross-border e-commerce and other services are widely used, which have played an important role in promoting economic stability and promoting international anti-epidemic cooperation. This provides the possibility of taking opportunities in the crisis of economic development and turning crises into opportunities, and also prompts the historical direction of achieving the development of human society through technological and model innovation.
Take cooperation as the basic path. "World history" is not equal to the sum of the histories of nation-states, and "world economy" is not equal to the sum of economies, but the systematic and integral nature inherent in it is the condition for its establishment. Under the background of economic globalization, the economies of all countries are interdependent and the convergence of interests is unprecedented, and treating each other with sincerity and sharing inclusively is the fundamental strategy. Strengthening the docking of the development of trade in services, innovating cooperation methods, deepening cooperation areas, actively seeking the greatest common denominator of development interests, and continuously enlarging the "cake" are important ways to accelerate the recovery of the global economy under the epidemic, and the realistic carrier of promoting the concept of win-win cooperation in the hearts of the people.
This service trade fair is the first major international economic and trade event held offline in China since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, which has great signal significance for China and the world. In his speech, President Xi Jinping expressed china's commitment to unswervingly expand opening up, establish and improve the negative list management system for cross-border trade in services, and promote the construction of a pilot open platform for the innovative development of trade in services, and put forward practical measures such as supporting Beijing to build a comprehensive demonstration zone for the expansion and opening up of the national service industry and a free trade pilot zone characterized by the digital economy. These are China's propositions and China's solutions, which fully demonstrate the sincerity of openness, the confidence of win-win results, the courage to meet challenges, and the vision of the global future from the perspective of a community of common destiny. Promoting the in-depth development of economic globalization has a long way to go, and it is expected that the 2020 Service Trade Fair will not only build a physical platform, but also form a historic consensus.
