China’s countermeasures against“anti-globalization”
Currently, the global economy seems to reach a fork road. On one hand, the accumulation of material wealth and the upgrade of technical level make the human civilization reach a new level. On the other hand, such problems as poverty, unemployment and big income gap result in more uncertainties in the world. In this case, the clash between the two ideological trends of globalization and anti-globalization has become a high-prof i le topic.
The Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference held from March 23 to 26 seems to be more important at the time that the US president advocated “American First”, UK Prime Minister declared “Brexit”, and people felt the cold wave of “anti-globalization” and “free from regional integration” when the wordings about opposing trade protectionism were openly deleted in a Communique at the meeting of G-20 fi nance ministers and central bank governors.
The theme of this year’s annual conference, “Globalization and Free Trade: the Asian Perspectives”, conforms to the trend of the times and answers the calls of the parties concerned. So it is very important in the background of the gradual impact of trade protectionism. When both globalization and free trade are on the rocks in the western countries, Chinese Government launched the economic globalization again, and contributed its positive energy to the economic globalization.
A new round of globalization is beginning under the active drive of emerging economies and developing countries including China taking the opportunity of the “Belt and Road Initiative”.
Firmly embracing globalization and free trade
People were taken by surprises of such Black Swans as Brexit and Trump’s presidential election in 2016. The Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, held as scheduled from March 23 to 26, 2017 with a theme of “Globalization and Free Trade: the Asian Perspectives”, attracted the world attention.
Strongest voice of globalization to the world
Before and after the Boao Forum, Li Keqiang, the Premier of the State Council, paid an off i cial visit to Australia and New Zealand from March 22 to 29. Premier’s visit is another grant diplomacy action for China to expand and strengthen partner network in new globalization process, demonstrating Chinese Government’s determination of pushing economic globalization to the world.
China’s duty: Countermeasures against “anti-globalization”
The two internationally-inf l uential forums: the Davos World Economic Forum held in January and the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in March focused on the one topic—Globalization. In the past year, the ideological trends of “anti-globalization” such as Populism and trade protectionism attracted the extensive attention. Is the globalization progress reversed? And how will it develop in the future?
