If the world is good, then China will be good; China is good, the world will be better. During the five years of advancing the 14th Five Year Plan, China has always been committed to common development, cooperation and win-win results with all countries in the world, including developing countries. It has constantly provided new opportunities for the world economy with new achievements in Chinese path to modernization, and has become an engine of world economic growth, a source of innovative development, a promoter of common prosperity, and a firm practitioner of an open world economy. The trending topic on overseas social media is' China Tour ', and international business people frequently talk about' being bullish on China '... The magnificent picture of high-quality development in contemporary China is impressing the world in a more tangible way. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China's economic growth is expected to exceed 35 trillion yuan, equivalent to rebuilding a "Yangtze River Delta". From 2021 to 2024, China's economy has grown at an average annual rate of 5.5%, which is significantly higher than the global average. Its contribution to world economic growth remains at around 30%, playing a crucial role in stabilizing the world economy. China is not only the world's second largest economy, but also the world's largest manufacturing country, the largest trading nation in goods, the world's second largest consumer market for commodities, and the largest holder of foreign exchange reserves. It is a major trading partner of over 150 countries and regions. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China provided the world with broader and more diverse market opportunities, investment opportunities, and growth opportunities. In an international environment full of uncertainty, China is increasingly becoming an 'oasis of certainty'. ”Saudi Aramco CEO Nasser lamented that China's development has benefited from effective strategic foresight, and China has the ability to continue to become a model in the global economic system. Humanoid robots run marathons, participate in combat competitions... With the continuous development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, China continues to showcase various possibilities for the future to the world, bringing surging vitality to global innovation. China is one of the economies with the fastest improvement in global innovation capability, with its global innovation index ranking rising from 34th in 2012 to 10th in 2025. The Innovation Composite Index released by the European Commission in July this year showed that China's score increased by 31.6 percentage points compared to 2020, significantly higher than that of Europe and the United States. From the lunar back sampling return achieved by Chang'e-6 to the successful 10000 meter sea trial of Haidou-1; From the establishment of the world's first 6G experimental network to the provision of global precision services through Beidou navigation; From the commercial launch of the C919 aircraft to leading the production and sales of new energy vehicles; From the commercial operation of the world's first fourth generation nuclear power plant to the world's leading ultra-high voltage transmission and transformation... China's innovation during the 14th Five Year Plan period not only changed China, but also made important contributions to a more convenient and intelligent life for all mankind. The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation of the United States believes that China has established a market-oriented and positive cycle innovation system, and has developed a technological innovation model. From the "world factory" to the "innovation highland", China has completed the transformation from a technology importer to an innovation source. More and more multinational corporations not only view China as a production base and target market, but also as a global research and development center, leveraging the advantages of the Chinese market's rapid application and iteration of new technologies to serve their global layout. At the 2025 annual meeting of the China Development Forum, the foreign chairman of the forum and chairman of the board of directors of Siemens AG, Boren, stated that China's innovation is constantly bringing surprises to the world. He pointed out that the world economy is undergoing a profound transformation, and facing the challenge of where growth comes from, China has provided the answer through its own practice: to pursue high-quality growth with high technology and high efficiency. Duisburg on the banks of the Rhine River, cargo ships line up to stop, trains honk their horns and enter the station, trucks carrying containers with words such as "Chongqing New Europe" and "Yixin Europe" to and from Mercedes Benz... The operation of the China Europe freight train has made this historic port full of vitality. The cumulative number of China EU trains has exceeded 110000, which has become a vivid example of high-quality joint construction of the "the Belt and Road". From "freehand brushwork" to "fine brushwork", the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" has become the world's most extensive and largest international cooperation platform. China has signed cooperation agreements with over 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations. China Laos Railway, Ya'an Wanzhou High speed Railway, Qianlong Kaigang Railway, Mombasa Nairobi Railway and other projects continue to promote the new pattern of connectivity, and a large number of "small and beautiful" livelihood projects have taken root, effectively improving the well-being of the people of the country. In recent years, China has continued to share the opportunities of its large market with the world, granting 100% tariff free treatment to all least developed countries that have established diplomatic relations with China. The cumulative intended transaction volume of the 7th China International Import Expo has exceeded 500 billion US dollars. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China steadily expanded institutional openness in terms of rules, regulations, management, standards, etc., continuously optimized the business environment, and achieved zero restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector. Pilot projects for opening up service sectors such as telecommunications, healthcare, and education were steadily promoted. As of the end of 2024, foreign investors have cumulatively established over 1.239 million enterprises in China, and the actual scale of foreign investment used in China has reached 20.6 trillion yuan. Believing in China means believing in tomorrow "has increasingly become a global consensus among businesses. Bernard DeWitt, Chairman of the Belgian China Economic and Trade Commission, lamented that foreign companies doing business in China benefit, and Chinese companies "going global" also bring positive impacts to the local area. "China's high-level opening-up to the outside world will benefit the global economy. Establishing three major cooperation platforms for energy, green industry, and digital economy between China and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as well as three cooperation centers for technological innovation, higher education, and vocational and technical education, and building the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Development Bank as soon as possible, with plans to implement 100 "small and beautiful" livelihood projects in member countries in need... At the recently concluded Shanghai Cooperation Organization Tianjin Summit, China's measures and commitments were warmly responded to by various countries. During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the century long changes have accelerated, and the world, times, and history are unfolding in unprecedented ways. Global cooperation is increasingly hindered by disorderly competition, protectionism is becoming increasingly prevalent, and the normal operation of the multilateral trading system is facing serious challenges. China provides strong support for openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation among countries through pragmatic actions, and offers more diverse platforms and choices for the development of countries in the global South. As of early 2025, China has signed 23 free trade agreements with 30 countries and regions. While expanding the trade "cake", China actively promotes the improvement of international governance models, promotes the establishment of the "BRICS+" cooperation model, and declares not to seek new special and differential treatment in current and future negotiations at the World Trade Organization... British scholar Martin Jacques pointed out in evaluating the BRICS cooperation mechanism that for a long time, the development demands of emerging markets and developing countries have often been marginalized. China not only provides solid support for the BRICS cooperation mechanism through its own development, but also continuously promotes the deepening and expansion of the cooperation mechanism with independent strategic thinking and long-term development concepts. More and more international people realize that in the face of global challenges such as insufficient economic growth momentum, increasing income inequality, severe environmental pollution and climate change, and significant rise of protectionism and unilateralism, China's new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing has global significance, which helps to lead the world in addressing development challenges and promote the long-term development of human society. Looking back at the entire 14th Five Year Plan period, China has continued to share the dividends of development with the world, and has taken practical actions to promote economic globalization towards a more open, inclusive, balanced, and win-win direction. In the future, China will always be an important promoter of global openness, cooperation, and common development, and a vibrant market for countries to expand business opportunities. It will undoubtedly make greater contributions to the prosperity and progress of humanity. (New Society)
