Xinhua news agency, Beijing, November 4, the opening ceremony of the third China International Import fair was held in Shanghai on the evening of 4, and President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech in a video. The novel coronavirus pneumonia has caused the world economy to be unstable and uncertain. However, the pace of China's expansion is still accelerating, and the trend of openness and cooperation has not changed, Xi Jinping said. All countries should work together to promote the common opening-up of win-win cooperation, shared responsibility and co governance. China will adhere to the belief of opening up, cooperation, unity and win-win results, unswervingly expand the opening-up in an all-round way, make the Chinese market become the world's market, shared market and everyone's market, promote the recovery of the world economy and inject more positive energy into the international community.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the current fair was held in a special period. The sudden outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia has brought serious impact to all countries, and has also brought heavy losses to the world economy. On the premise of ensuring the safety of epidemic prevention, China held this global trade event as scheduled, which reflects China's sincere desire to share market opportunities with the world and promote the recovery of the world economy.
Xi Jinping stressed that despite the impact of the epidemic, China's pace of expansion is accelerating this year. The series of measures to expand the opening up announced at the second China International Fair have been fully implemented. China continues to expand imports. One belt, one road to Hainan's free trade port, the implementation plan of Shenzhen's further expansion and reform and opening up, and the signing of high standard free trade agreements, the promotion of import trade to promote innovation demonstration zones, the protection of intellectual property rights and the construction of "one belt and one road" with high quality have made positive progress.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the epidemic has made the world economy unstable and uncertain. Historically, no matter what kind of risks, disasters and adverse currents, human society has to move forward and will certainly continue to move forward. The general trend of opening up and cooperation among countries has not changed. We should join hands to cope with risks and challenges, strengthen cooperation and communication, and jointly expand opening up. We should strive to promote win-win cooperation and common opening-up, trust rather than suspicion, hand in hand rather than fist waving, and consultation rather than abuse. In order to promote the common opening-up of cooperation and sharing, big countries should take the lead in demonstrating, major economies should set an example, and developing countries should take an active part. We should not allow unilateralism and protectionism to undermine the international order and international rules, but should reform the global economic governance system and promote the construction of an open world economy.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the Communist Party of China just concluded, in the fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, made a comprehensive plan for the development of China's "14th Five-Year" period. China's goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and getting rid of poverty will soon be achieved. From next year, China will embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and China will enter a new stage of development. We propose to build a new development pattern with domestic circulation as the main body and domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other. This is by no means a closed domestic cycle, but a more open domestic and international dual cycle. It is not only the need of China's own development, but also will better benefit the people of all countries. China is the biggest potential market in the world. Made in China has become an important part of the global industrial chain supply chain and has made positive contributions. China's vast domestic demand market will continue to stimulate the continuous innovation potential. China will unswervingly expand its opening-up in an all-round way, so that the Chinese market can become a world market, a shared market and a market for everyone, so as to inject more positive energy into the international community.
First, build a new highland for opening up. China will effectively play the leading role of pilot free trade zones and free trade ports, issue a negative list of cross-border service trade, continue to expand opening-up in digital economy, Internet and other fields, carry out reform and innovation in trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and promote the construction of a new open economic system at a higher level.
Second, promote the innovation and development of foreign trade. China will continue to support enterprises from all over the world to expand business opportunities in China through open platforms such as the China International Fair. China will tap the potential of foreign trade growth and make positive contributions to promoting international trade growth and world economic development. China will accelerate the development of new formats and models such as cross-border e-commerce and cultivate new driving forces for foreign trade. China will reduce the catalogue of China's import prohibited and restricted technologies to create a good environment for free cross-border flow of technological elements.
Third, continue to optimize the business environment. After the outbreak of the epidemic, China has introduced various policies to help enterprises, which are registered in China, equally. This year, China implemented the foreign investment law and related supporting regulations, further reducing the negative list of foreign investment access. China will continue to improve the open and transparent foreign-related legal system, strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of foreign-funded enterprises, and create a better environment with high-quality services.
Fourth, deepen bilateral, multilateral and regional cooperation. China is willing to negotiate and sign high standard free trade agreements with more countries, promote the signing of regional comprehensive economic partnership agreements as soon as possible, accelerate the negotiation process of China EU investment agreement, China Japan South Korea and other free trade agreements, and strengthen exchanges and mutual learning with the world's high standard free trade areas. China will actively participate in the reform of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and actively participate in the cooperation among the UN, G20, APEC and BRICs countries. China will build a one belt, one road with high quality in the relevant countries, and promote the construction of a community of human destiny.
