Foreign trade connects domestic and international markets and resources, which is an important indicator to measure the level of opening up. How to make more foreign-funded enterprises willing to come, stay and develop well? How to improve China's international trade competitiveness? In this regard, deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the CPPCC gave relevant suggestions.

● Li Kuiwen, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Guangdong Branch of the General Administration of Customs:

To promote high-level opening up, we need to maintain smooth flow, stabilize scale and optimize structure. Driven by a series of major measures of opening up, the continued deepening of regional economic and trade cooperation, the expansion and upgrading of international "circle of friends", and the vigorous development of cross-border e-commerce have all played an important role in promoting the steady growth of international trade. Next, according to the deployment requirements made in the government work report, we should continue to promote the implementation of the work of stabilizing foreign trade and promoting foreign investment, help enterprises grasp orders, expand the market, solve difficult problems, further reduce the time of customs clearance at cargo ports, fully release the policy dividends of origin, tax reduction, "certified operator" (AEO), and promote new and greater progress in trade with other countries.

● Bai Chongen, member of the CPPCC National Committee and dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University:

Connecting with the high standards of international trade, promoting institutional opening up, and comprehensively improving the level of opening up will not only help improve China's comprehensive national strength, but also help to form new advantages in international trade cooperation and competition, attract high-quality foreign investment with a high level of openness, and accelerate the construction of a trading power.

● Representatives of the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences weigh:

In general, China's opening has shifted from the original factor opening and market opening to institutional opening. The "pilot fields" such as the pilot free trade zone, the Hainan Free Trade Port, the comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zone, and the pilot market procurement trade mode have boldly explored and made breakthroughs, which has laid a good foundation for China to build a new system of a higher level open economy and achieve high-quality development. As the high-level opening up to the outside world moves towards a wider scope, wider scope and deeper level, the resilient, potential and dynamic Chinese economy will continue to make positive and important contributions to the world economic growth.

● Yu Miaojie, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Liaoning University:

China has a population of more than 1.4 billion, including more than 400 million middle-income groups, and its super-scale market has been providing stable demand for the world economy. In addition, such positive factors as the further reduction of the entry threshold for foreign investment, the continuous release of policy dividends, and the increasingly improved business environment will attract more international trade enterprises to take root in China for development.

● Liu Ruiling, member of the CPPCC National Committee and chairman of Hebei Inland Port Construction Group Co., Ltd.:

As the flagship brand of jointly building the "the Belt and Road", China Europe Express has been widely recognized by the international community and has produced a huge driving effect. We should make good use of the China-EU train to help Chinese enterprises "go out" to find business opportunities. First, we should open more to provide strong support for stabilizing foreign trade and foreign investment and ensuring the stability of the international industrial chain supply chain; The second is to drive more smoothly, improve the efficiency of the whole operation of the train, and transform the advantages of transportation efficiency and logistics cost into the competitiveness of enterprises "going to sea".
