"Since 2013, China has worked with the co-construction countries to promote the "Belt and Road" cooperation from scratch, vigorously develop and achieve fruitful results. At present, China is comprehensively promoting the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization, and will always hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win results, pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win opening strategy, continue to provide new opportunities for the world with China's new development in high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and promote the construction of an open, inclusive, interconnected and common development world.
China's development has brought many opportunities for the development of the world
President Xi Jinping pointed out: "Mankind is an interdependent community with a shared future. If the world is good, China will be good; If China is good, the world will be better. "As the largest developing country, China has always placed its own development in the coordinate system of human development, and created new opportunities for the world's development with its own development.
It will provide an important impetus for world economic growth. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, China has completed the industrialization process that the developed countries in the West have gone through for hundreds of years in a few decades, and has created a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and the proportion of China's total economic output in the world economy has increased from about 1.8 percent in 1978 to more than 18 percent. In the past 10 years, China's average annual contribution to world economic growth has exceeded 30%. In recent years, in the context of the surging trend of anti-globalization thought, China has actively promoted the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", promoted the formation of a new global development pattern in which the Eurasian continent is fully connected with the Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the land and sea are integrated, and the scope and coverage of the international division of labor are expanded in a broader economic geographical space, and efforts are made to promote new growth of the world economy.
Provide a broad market for the world. As the world's second largest economy, China continues to expand its opening-up, improve the level of opening-up, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and share China's market opportunities with other countries in the world. In the process of jointly building the "Belt and Road", China and the co-construction countries have greatly eliminated trade and investment barriers, improved the business environment in the region and other countries, built free trade zones, broadened trade fields, optimized trade structure, expanded mutual investment and industrial cooperation, promoted the establishment of a more balanced, equal and sustainable trade system, and developed mutually beneficial and win-win economic and trade relations. From 2013 to 2022, the total import and export volume between China and the co-construction countries totaled 19.1 trillion US dollars, and the cumulative two-way investment with the co-construction countries exceeded 380 billion US dollars.
Empowering global development. Development is the key to solving all problems. China gives full play to its advantages in infrastructure construction and provides full-chain support for infrastructure design, financing, construction and operation in developing countries. capacity cooperation with developing countries to help them industrialize; Supporting capacity building in developing countries, providing annual training for officials in different fields in relevant countries, and providing scholarships to support the training of professional talents; Share development knowledge with other countries in the world, promote mutual learning, and provide development knowledge assistance based on the actual conditions of relevant countries. In the process of jointly building the "Belt and Road", China and the co-construction countries are committed to building a global interconnection network covering land, sea, space and network, and effectively promoting the flow of goods, capital, technology and personnel from all countries. China has invested in the establishment of the Silk Road Fund, and established the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) with relevant countries to continuously expand investment and financing channels and platforms to activate the development momentum of the co-construction countries.
As a popular international public good and platform for international cooperation, the Belt and Road Initiative has achieved fruitful results over the past 10 years, with connectivity as the main line. China has signed more than 230 Belt and Road cooperation documents with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations, strengthening policy coordination, infrastructure connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration and people-to-people ties with other countries, injecting new momentum into world economic growth and opening up new space for global development.
The Belt and Road Initiative conforms to the trend of the times and seeks common development and win-win cooperation
President Xi Jinping pointed out: "Only through win-win cooperation can we get things done, do good things, and do great things." "China adheres to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, opens the door wider and wider with concrete actions, and promotes common development and win-win cooperation in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", demonstrating the pattern and mind of sharing opportunities with all parties.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) is the embodiment of the world. The road trip, the world is public. The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, as well as a party that seeks progress for mankind and the common good of the world. In the process of jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative, our Party has joined hands with political parties of other countries to address various global risks and challenges with an attitude of being responsible to history, the people and the world, so as to create a bright future of peace, development, cooperation and win-win results for future generations.
The requirements for building a community with a shared future for mankind. Mankind is an interdependent community with a shared future. Building a community with a shared future for mankind is China's wisdom in handling contemporary international relations based on the general trend of world peace and development, China's plan for improving global governance, and China's proposal to address various challenges in the 21st century. The Belt and Road Initiative provides a practical platform for building a community with a shared future for mankind.

The starting point for building an open world economy. In today's world, the trend of anti-globalization is rising, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, the downward pressure on the world economy is increasing, and global development is facing many challenges.

Adhering to the core values and basic principles of the multilateral trading system and jointly building an open platform for cooperation, the countries are conducive to maintaining and developing an open world economy.
China's own development needs. China is a participant, beneficiary and contributor to economic globalization, and China's development cannot be separated from the world. Through the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", China's door to the outside world has been opened wider and wider, the inland areas have changed from "guards" to "forwards", the coastal areas have opened up and developed to a higher level, and the Chinese market has become more closely linked with the world market. China has shared its development experience and opportunities with other countries in the world, welcomed all countries to ride the "free ride" of China's development, sang the "China opportunity theory", effectively refuted the "China threat theory", and won more friends and partners. This is not only conducive to promoting high-level opening up, but also creates good external conditions for China's development and injects strong impetus into Chinese-style modernization.
