In his report at the 19th Nation-al Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi called for seeking new ground in opening up on all fronts.

“China will not close its door to the world; we will only become more and more open,” said Xi.“We should pursue the Belt and Road Initiative as a priority, give equal emphasis to ‘bringing inand ‘going global, follow the prin- ciple of achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration, and increase openness and cooperation in building innovation capacity. With these efforts, we hope to make new ground in opening China further through links running eastward and westward, across land and over sea.”

China has become a big country in terms of international economy and trade. Through further reform, China is striving to become stronger in trade with more focus on quality of investment rather than quantity. To make new ground in pursuing opening up on all fronts, the country needs to enhance its level, expand its scope and improve its quality of openness.

Xis report calls for building up Chinas strengths for international economic cooperation and competition, which testifies to the countrys will to open up on all fronts. In global governance, China is transforming from a bystander and follower to a practitioner and forerunner.endprint
