The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "The relationship between contemporary China and the world has undergone historic changes, and the future and destiny of China are increasingly closely linked with the future and destiny of the world." "The development of China cannot be separated from the world, and the prosperity and stability of the world cannot be separated from China." These discourses objectively describe the close relationship between China and the world today, show the inseparable relationship between the development and prosperity of China and the prosperity and stability of the world, and put forward the basic requirements for the whole party to establish a world vision, enhance strategic awareness, and improve the ability to co-ordinate the two overall situations at home and abroad.

The relationship between contemporary China and the world has undergone historic changes, which is a major judgment made from the height of history and reality and a full affirmation of the brilliant achievements of reform and opening up. After 29 years of reform and opening-up, China has achieved a historic transformation from closed and semi-closed to fully open. Today, 29 years later, China society is unprecedentedly open; The mutual blending and dependence between China and the outside world is unprecedented; The country has achieved its own development and prosperity in opening up, and at the same time promoted the development and progress of the world with its own development; The people of China can communicate freely with other nationalities and people in peace, calmness, humility and self-confidence.

China's future and destiny are more and more closely linked with the future and destiny of the world, which embodies an important feature of today's era and shows the broad mind of China's * * * production party and the people of China to put their own development and prosperity in the world's development and progress. Open China took the initiative to meet the challenge of economic globalization, persisted in seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and achieved sustained and rapid development in the process of opening up.

Since the reform and opening up 29 years ago, foreign trade and economic cooperation has been an important driving force for China's economic growth. From 1978 to 2006, the total import and export volume of China increased from $20.6 billion to1760.7 billion, an increase of nearly 85 times, and its ranking in the world rose from 32nd to 3rd, accounting for about 65% of GDP. In 2007, China is expected to become the second largest commodity exporter. The development of China cannot be separated from the world, from the overall peace of the world and the overall stability of surrounding areas, and from the absorption and reference of foreign capital, management, technology and other outstanding achievements of civilization.

The profound changes in the relationship between China and the world have made China an important focus of world attention at present and in the future, and also put forward basic requirements for us to coordinate the overall situation at home and abroad. As China's influence on the world is increasing, the world pays attention to China, China's development direction, China's position and attitude on international issues, China's influence on the world and the competitiveness of China products. This is the normal reaction of the world to the development of China, which will have an impact on our work and domestic development. Such a reality requires us to set up a world vision, have a strategic vision, co-ordinate the two overall situations at home and abroad, fully understand and profoundly understand the mutual influence of domestic and international factors, earnestly grasp and properly use the mutual transformation of domestic and international conditions, carefully consider the international effects of domestic policies, keenly respond to domestic reactions to international events, be good at grasping development opportunities in the profound changes in the international environment, and be good at optimizing the external environment in the continuous development of domestic undertakings. Effectively mobilize and bring into play various positive factors at home and abroad that are beneficial to China's development, strive to eliminate and contain all unfavorable conditions that hinder China's development, and ensure that Socialism with Chinese characteristics's career ships ride the wind and waves and make great strides.
