Against the background of the rise of protectionism in Europe and the difficulty of structural reform, the media and think tanks in some European countries focus on China, hoping to explore the deep reasons for the success of China's development model through the dimension of reform and opening up.
Play a key role in global economic growth
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's economic and social development has created many unprecedented miracles: at comparable prices, China's GDP has grown at an average annual rate of about 9.5%; In dollar terms, China's foreign trade increased by 65,438+04.5% every year. At present, China has become the second largest economy, the largest industrial country, the largest commodity trading country and the largest foreign exchange reserve country in the world.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, according to the current standards of the United Nations, more than 700 million poor people in China have been successfully lifted out of poverty, accounting for more than 70% of the total poverty-stricken population in the world in the same period, and the incidence of poverty in the whole country has been reduced to about 3%. In 20 18, China Agricultural Development Bank will invest 5 10 billion euros for rural infrastructure and housing construction and the development of rural industry, medical care and education. It is estimated that by 2020, all rural poor people under the current standards in China will be lifted out of poverty.
French online media Agoravox reported that since the reform and opening up 40 years ago, China's economy has achieved rapid growth, and its contribution rate to world economic growth has exceeded 30% for many years, making it a stabilizer and power source for world economic growth. Reform and opening up will continue to play a key role in global economic growth.
Zarco Oboura, vice chairman of the Serbian Socialist Party, said in an interview with the media that "China's decision of reform and opening up is extremely wise, which is crucial for the development of China and even the world". Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China has made remarkable achievements in various fields and created a miracle in the history of world development.
Gawlikowski, director of the East Asian Civilization Research Center of Warsaw Humanities University, wrote that China has played an important role in the world economic stage since the reform and opening up 40 years ago. In just 40 years, it is amazing that China has completed the modernization road that many developed countries took hundreds of years to complete.
Members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee of the Italian People's Party and Francesco Maringio, coordinator of the International Department, visited Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, the first village of rural reform in China, on the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. He told the media that the rural living environment in China has achieved a qualitative leap in just a few decades. Now, most young people in China can hear the memory of poverty from the older generation, and this generational change is very rapid.
Reasonable and effective long-term development planning is worth learning.
According to the calculation of the World Bank, the proportion of China's economy in the world economy in 20 17 years is about 15.3%, and its contribution rate to the world economic growth is about 34%. In recent years, China's sustained and steady economic growth has become an important engine to promote global economic recovery and development. In particular, China has launched a series of major measures to expand and open up, which means that the development of China will bring more opportunities to the world.
Thomas Heibel, a senior professor of China's political, social and cultural studies at Duisburg-Essen University, and Amin Miller, a scholar of modern China's social and economic studies at G? ttingen University, jointly published the research report "Social Transformation in China", which pointed out that under the leadership of China, the "basic force" for ensuring social stability in China is very solid. Facing the new problems and challenges in the process of rapid economic development, the policies of China government are positive and forward-looking, for example, by expanding the social security system to alleviate social inequality and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas.
China expert Zoltay Alexander recently published the article "Shenzhen-China Success Story" on Hungarian PAGEO website, pointing out that the rise of Shenzhen, the "Silicon Valley of China", is the epitome of China's 40 years of reform and opening up, and its strong creativity and vitality show the changes brought by China's reform and opening up to this ancient country. In recent years, China's reform and opening up has entered a new stage, and China's economy is changing from labor-intensive to technology-intensive. Shenzhen is a window to observe the impact of China's science and technology on the world.
