Raise the sails of opening up, welcome guests and friends from all over the world, and gather good opportunities for cooperation. On November 10, the 5th China International Import Expo came to a successful conclusion, with a cumulative turnover of US $73.52 billion, an increase of 3.9% over the previous one.

At a time when the international trade market is changing and the world economy is recovering slowly, the Oriental Convention once again shows the resilience and vitality of the Chinese market to the world. Through the upsurge of opening up and cooperation driven by the Expo, the international community has seen more clearly that China is expanding its high-level opening up with courageous actions in the new era, and constantly providing new opportunities for the world with China's new development.

The Expo should be open to the outside world. Over the past five years, the "Exhibitor Directory" of the Expo has become thicker and thicker, and the exhibition area and number of exhibits have been increasing. Many exhibitors lament that from a small directory, they can "see an increasingly open China".

The Expo is a window for international people to further understand the new path of Chinese path to modernization and high-quality development. At this Expo, a series of practical actions to promote the construction of an open world economy demonstrated once again China's sincerity and determination to open up cooperation with other countries and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results in international trade.

Although economic globalization has encountered some obstacles, the world economy cannot return from the sea to the lake. Opening up and cooperation are still the historical trend, and mutual benefit and win-win results are still popular. In the face of rampant unilateralism and protectionism, China has always stood on the right side of history, relieving the difficulties of development by opening up, pooling the strength of cooperation by opening up, gathering the momentum of innovation by opening up, and seeking the benefits of sharing by opening up to promote the international trade economy forward.

China cannot develop without the world, and the prosperity of the world also needs China. Over the past 10 years, China's foreign direct investment flows have ranked among the top three in the world. From 2013 to 2021, China's average contribution to world economic growth will reach 38.6%, becoming the first driving force for international trade growth. China embraces the world with an open attitude and keeps opening the golden door of "sharing the future".

An open and inclusive big country has won wide praise from the international community. Daval Shitern, former CEO of Croatian National Petroleum Corporation, said: "The world economy without China will be unimaginable. Chinese path to modernization will not only bring benefits to the Chinese people, but also to the people of the world. The Expo provides a vivid and specific interpretation of this."

China is unswerving in its determination to promote high-level opening up, and the door to opening up will only open wider and wider. Based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern, and promoting the high-quality development of international trade, China will surely provide more opportunities for cooperation among countries and contribute more Chinese strength to promoting global development.
