Beijing, November 4 (Xinhua) the opening ceremony of the third China International Import Expo was held in Shanghai on the evening of the 4th. President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech by video. Xi Jinping pointed out that the new crown pneumonia epidemic has increased the instability and uncertainty of the world economy, but the pace of China's opening up is still accelerating, and the general trend of opening up and cooperation among countries has not changed. All countries should work together to promote the common opening-up of win-win cooperation, shared responsibility and co governance. China will adhere to the belief of opening up, cooperation, unity and win-win results, unswervingly expand the opening-up in an all-round way, make the Chinese market become the world's market, shared market and everyone's market, promote the recovery of the world economy and inject more positive energy into the international community.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the fair was held at a special time. The sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia has brought serious impact to all countries, and also brought heavy damage to the world economy. On the premise of ensuring the safety of epidemic prevention, China held this global trade event as scheduled, which reflects China's sincere desire to share market opportunities with the world and promote the recovery of the world economy.

Xi Jinping stressed that despite the impact of the epidemic, the pace of China's opening up is still accelerating this year. The series of measures to expand the opening up announced at the second China International Fair have been fully implemented. China continues to expand imports. Positive progress has been made in the implementation of the overall plan for the construction of Hainan free trade port and the implementation plan for Shenzhen's further expansion of reform and opening up, the negotiation and signing of high-standard free trade agreements, the cultivation of import trade promotion and innovation demonstration zones, the protection of intellectual property rights, and the high-quality construction of the "belt and road" initiative.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the epidemic has increased the instability and uncertainty of the world economy. Historically, no matter what kind of risks, disasters and adverse currents, human society has to move forward and will certainly continue to move forward. The general trend of opening up and cooperation among countries has not changed. We should join hands to cope with risks and challenges, strengthen cooperation and communication, and jointly expand opening up. We should strive to promote win-win cooperation and common opening-up, trust rather than suspicion, hand in hand rather than fist waving, and consultation rather than abuse. In order to promote the common opening-up of cooperation and sharing, big countries should take the lead in demonstrating, major economies should set an example, and developing countries should take an active part. We should not allow unilateralism and protectionism to undermine the international order and international rules, but should reform the global economic governance system and promote the construction of an open world economy.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the just concluded Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee has made a comprehensive plan for China's development during the 14th Five Year Plan period. China's goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and getting rid of poverty will soon be achieved. From next year, China will embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and China will enter a new stage of development. We propose to build a new development pattern with domestic circulation as the main body and domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other. This is by no means a closed domestic cycle, but a more open domestic and international dual cycle. It is not only the need of China's own development, but also will better benefit the people of all countries. China is the biggest potential market in the world. Made in China has become an important part of the global industrial chain supply chain and has made positive contributions. China's vast domestic demand market will continue to stimulate the continuous innovation potential. China will unswervingly expand its opening-up in an all-round way, so that the Chinese market can become a world market, a shared market and a market for everyone, so as to inject more positive energy into the international community.

First, build a new highland for opening up. China will effectively play the leading role of pilot free trade zones and free trade ports, issue a negative list of cross-border service trade, continue to expand opening-up in digital economy, Internet and other fields, carry out reform and innovation in trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and promote the construction of a new open economic system at a higher level.

Second, promote the innovation and development of foreign trade. China will continue to support enterprises from all over the world to expand business opportunities in China through open platforms such as the China International Fair. China will tap the potential of foreign trade growth and make positive contributions to promoting international trade growth and world economic development. China will accelerate the development of new formats and models such as cross-border e-commerce and cultivate new driving forces for foreign trade. China will reduce the catalogue of China's import prohibited and restricted technologies to create a good environment for free cross-border flow of technological elements.

Third, continue to optimize the business environment. After the outbreak of the epidemic, China has introduced various policies to help enterprises, which are registered in China, equally. This year, China implemented the foreign investment law and related supporting regulations, further reducing the negative list of foreign investment access. China will continue to improve the open and transparent foreign-related legal system, strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of foreign-funded enterprises, and create a better environment with high-quality services.

Fourth, deepen bilateral, multilateral and regional cooperation. China is willing to negotiate and sign high standard free trade agreements with more countries, promote the signing of regional comprehensive economic partnership agreements as soon as possible, accelerate the negotiation process of China EU investment agreement, China Japan South Korea and other free trade agreements, and strengthen exchanges and mutual learning with the world's high standard free trade areas. China will actively participate in the reform of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and actively participate in the cooperation among the UN, G20, APEC and BRICs countries. China will jointly build the "belt and road" with relevant countries to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

In conclusion, Xi Jinping pointed out that the Chinese often say that "he is not a hero until he reaches the Great Wall". At present, the development of the world economy is facing severe challenges. We should strengthen our confidence, enhance our courage and overcome the difficulties together. China is willing to work with other countries to create opportunities in opening up, solve problems in cooperation, and work together to create a better tomorrow for mankind!
