The "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Term Goals for 2035" (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposal") adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to implement high-level opening up to the outside world and open up a new situation of win-win cooperation. This is a major strategic deployment made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core to coordinate the overall strategic situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century. It draws a new blueprint for open cooperation, puts forward new measures for mutual benefit and win-win results, and points out the direction for opening up to the outside world under the new situation. We must study and understand carefully and resolutely implement it.

Fully understand the great significance of exploring a new situation of win-win cooperation

The 14th Five-Year Plan period is the first five years after my country has fully built a moderately prosperous society and achieved the first centenary goal. It is of great and far-reaching significance to take advantage of the momentum to embark on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.

A scientific summary of the great practical experience of opening up to the outside world. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that opening up brings progress, while closure will inevitably lag behind. Since the reform and opening up, we have adhered to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, opened the country's doors to carry out construction, and achieved a historical transformation from closed, semi-closed to all-round opening up, which has effectively promoted the economic growth of China and the world. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has taken overall strategic situation, focused on the construction of the "Belt and Road" as the focus, and promoted the formation of an open pattern of linkage between land and sea, domestic and foreign, and east-west mutual assistance, injected strong impetus into the realization of the "two centenary" goals, and made important contributions to promoting the common development of mankind.

The objective requirements for promoting the formation of a new development pattern. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to promote the formation of a new development pattern with the domestic circulation as the main body and the domestic and international circulations mutually promoting each other. This is a strategic choice to reshape my country's new advantages in international cooperation and competition under the new situation. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, my country's economic ties with the world will be closer, the market opportunities provided to other countries will be broader, and it will also become a huge gravitational field that attracts international commodities and factor resources. The new development pattern is by no means a closed domestic circulation, but an open domestic and international dual circulation. It is necessary to better connect the domestic market and the international market by leveraging the potential of domestic demand, better utilize the domestic and international markets, better promote the common development of China's economy and the world economy, and achieve win-win cooperation.

An inevitable choice to build an open world economy. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to promote the construction of an open world economy. In recent years, economic globalization has encountered headwinds, unilateralism and protectionism have risen, the global industrial chain and supply chain are facing impact, and the international economic and political landscape has undergone profound adjustments. But in the long run, economic globalization is still a historical trend, and division of labor, cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win situations among countries are still a long-term trend. We must stand on the right side of history, continuously strengthen openness and cooperation, promote common opening up of the world through our own opening up, and promote economic globalization to develop in a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction.

An important path to building a community with a shared future for mankind. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that mankind lives in the same global village, in the same time and space where history and reality meet, and is increasingly becoming a community of shared destiny where you have me and I have you. This concept has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The global practice of fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic once again shows that mankind is a community of shared future that shares weal and woe and woe. The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and peace and development are still the themes of the times. At the same time, the international environment is becoming increasingly complex and the world has entered a period of turbulent and change. Only by uniting and cooperating can all countries seize opportunities, overcome challenges, achieve common development, and continue to move towards the goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Build a new open economy system at a higher level

The door to China's opening will not be closed, it will only open wider and wider. China's economic development in the past 40 years has been achieved under the conditions of openness, and in the future, China's economy must also achieve high-quality development under the conditions of more openness. The "Suggestion" proposes to build a new system of open economy at a higher level, which requires that on the basis of stabilizing the basic foundation of foreign trade and foreign investment, comprehensively improve the level of opening up to the outside world, promote the coordinated development of domestic demand and foreign demand, import and export, introduction and going out, continue to promote the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, and create Chinese goods, Chinese investment and Chinese service brands.
