What they say

Building the new development paradigm of “dual circulation” calls for innovation- driven growth. In the 14th FiveYear Plan period and beyond, it is more imperative than ever that China finds solutions to the problems in its economic growth through scientific and technological innovation. Xie Fuzhan, president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences

Without multilateralism and joint actions of the international community, the fight against the pandemic would be neither effective nor efficient. China’s high- level opening- up could play an important role in global efforts to fight the COVID- 19 pandemic.

Ban Ki- moon, former UN secretarygeneral and chairman of Boao Forum for Asia

China’s high- level opening- up and its efforts to develop the Belt and Road Initiative and promote the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership will contribute to multilateral economic and trade cooperation and toward advancing reform of the global governance system.

Liu Liange, chairman of the Bank of China

In the new journey toward modernization, China is fully confident and able to write a new chapter of “two miracles” — the miracles of “high- quality development” and “long- lasting peace and stability”.

Zhou Shuchun, publisher and editorin- chief of China Daily

China’s high- level opening- up will promote its high- quality development and at the same time provide new opportunities for the rest of the world. Construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port will create bright prospects for high- quality growth of Hainan and China at large.

Wu Hailong, chairman of the China Public Diplomacy Association

High- level opening- up demands a high- standard market system. The core of building an open economy of high standards lies not only in market reform of the production factors sector, but also in giving full play to the decisive role of the market in allocating resources.
