While opening its doors wider in 2018, China is injecting dynamism to high-quality economic growth and leaving another indelible mark on reform and opening-up over the last 40 years. The first China International Import Expo (CIIE) held in November in Shanghai is a vivid example of the expansion of opening-up.
Where will China’s economy go in the next year? How will the country cope with the unbalanced and inadequate domestic development and the changes of external environment? These issues are of great concerns as 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, as well as a decisive year in achieving the first centenary goal of building China into a moderately prosperous society. The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting several days earlier, outlining the country’s economic work in 2019.
Chinese President Xi Jinping made a powerful voice to the world that China will stay committed to reform and opening up at a grand gathering to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the great revolutionheld on Dec. 18 in Beijing.
