开放已经成为当代中国的鲜明标识。党的十八大以来，我国在对外开放中展现大国担当，连续多年对世界经济增长贡献率超过30%，成为世界经济增长的主要稳定器和动力源。作为我国对外开放的重要窗口，中国贸促会致力于拉紧中外企业利益纽带、推动国际经贸往来、促进国家关系发展，持续做优做强做精贸促工作，逐步发展成为我国外经贸事业的一支重要力量。Opening-up has become a distinctive mark of contemporary China. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China has shown its commitment as a major country to opening-up to the outside world, and has contributed more than 30 percent of world economic growth for many years in a row, becoming a major stabilizer and engine of global growth. As an important window of China's opening-up to the outside world, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) is committed to strengthening ties between Chinese and foreign enterprises, promoting international trade exchanges as well as the development of international relations. It has improved the quality and effectiveness of trade promotion work, and gradually evolves into an important force in China's cause of foreign trade and economic cooperation.Historic achievements in China's opening-up过去十年，我国充分利用两个市场两种资源，不断拓展对外经贸合作，以高水平开放促进深层次改革、推动高质量发展，开创了对外开放的新局面。Over the past decade, China has made full use of the domestic and overseas markets and resources therein to expand its foreign trade and economic cooperation, promote deep-level reforms and high-quality development with high-standard opening-up, and create a new paradigm of opening-up to the outside world.首先，高质量建设“一带一路”拓展开放新空间。着眼于打通内陆开放、向西开放通道，与149个国家、32个国际组织签署200多份共建“一带一路”合作文件，中老铁路建成通车，雅万高铁等一大批项目扎实推进，开放空间逐步从沿海、沿江向内陆、沿边延伸。2013至2021年，我国与沿线国家货物贸易额累计达11万亿美元。2021年，中国企业在“一带一路”沿线对57个国家非金融类直接投资达1203亿美元，同比增长14.1%。Firstly, high-quality construction under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) carves out new space for opening-up. With an eye on opening-up the inland and creating westward opening-up channels, China has signed more than 200 cooperation documents with 149 countries and 32 international organizations to jointly build the Belt and Road. The China-Laos Railway has been opened to traffic, and a large number of projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Railway have been making steady headway. The opening-up strategy gradually extends from the regions along the coast and major rivers to the China's hinterland and border areas. From 2013 to 2021, China's trade in goods with countries along the Belt and Road reached $11 trillion. In 2021, Chinese companies' non-financial direct investment in 57 countries along the Belt and Road reached $120.3 billion, up 14.1 percent year-on-year.此外，对外经贸合作再上新台阶。货物和服务贸易总额从2012年的4.4万亿美元增长到2021年的6.9万亿美元，从位列全球第二跃升至连续两年全球第一，全球货物贸易第一大国的地位更加稳固。双向投资稳居世界前列，2017年以来吸引外资连续四年位居世界第二，2021年吸引外资达1.15万亿人民币，比2012年增长62.9%。对外投资流量稳居全球前三位，2021年对外非金融类直接投资总额1136亿美元，比2012年增长47%。Furthermore, foreign economic and trade cooperation has reached a new level. Total trade in goods and services grew from $4.4 trillion in 2012 to $6.9 trillion in 2021, rising from the second place in the world to the first for two consecutive years. China's position as the world's top country in goods trade has become more solid. Two-way investment between China and its foreign partners has constantly ranked among the world's top. Since 2017, China has been attracting the world's second largest foreign investment for four consecutive years, with the amount reaching 1.15 trillion yuan in 2021, up 62.9 percent from 2012. For many years, China's outbound investment flows have been among the top three in the world, with a total non-financial outbound direct investment of $113.6 billion in 2021, up 47 percent from 2012.同时，制度型开放迈出新步伐。涉外经济法律法规和政策制度不断完善，开放型经济治理能力和发展质量大幅提升。经过历时4年探索，把自贸试验区外商投资准入负面清单经验推广至全国，限制措施由93项减至31项。实施新的《外商投资法》，开启外商投资管理新体制。去年，海南推出第一张跨境服务贸易负面清单。服务贸易创新发展试点不断深化，北京国家服务业扩大开放综合示范区试点任务实施率达到89%，新增天津、上海、重庆、海南4个试点地区。Meanwhile, new steps have been taken in institutional opening-up. Foreign-related economic laws, regulations and policies have been improved, and the governance capacity and development quality of an open economy have been greatly enhanced. After four years of exploration, the practice of negative list for access of foreign investment in the Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ) has been replicated across China, and the number of items restricted to foreign investors was reduced from 93 to 31. The new Foreign Investment Law was enacted to establish a new system for foreign investment management. Last year, the first negative list for cross-border trade in services took effect in Hainan Province. The pilot projects for the innovative development of trade in services have been deepened, with the task implementation progress rate of the national comprehensive demonstration zone of service industry opening-up in Beijing reaching 89 percent. Besides, four new pilot zones were established in Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing and Hainan.
鼓舞人心的是开放平台建设也已取得新进展。对接国际高标准经贸规则，自贸试验区和自贸港建设从蓝图变成实景。2013年以来设立21个自贸试验区，累计开展3400余项改革试点，向全国复制推广278项制度创新成果，贡献了全国17.3%的进出口额和18.5%的吸收外资总额。2018年海南自贸港建设启动，累计推出120多项制度创新成果。成功举办中国国际进口博览会、中国进出口商品交易会、中国国际服务贸易交易会等重大展会，彰显了主动向世界开放市场的大国风范。It is an encouraging sign that new progress has been made in the construction of open platforms. In line with international high-standard economic and trade rules, the construction of pilot free trade zones and free trade ports has changed from a blueprint to a reality. Since 2013, 21 pilot free trade zones have been established, with a total of more than 3,400 pilot reforms and 278 institutional innovations replicated and promoted nationwide, contributing 17.3 percent of China's import and export and 18.5 percent of all foreign investment to China. The year 2018 saw the initiation of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, a project boasting a total of more than 120 institutional innovations. The successful hosting of major exhibitions such as China International Import Expo (CIIE), China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) and China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), demonstrated the initiative China took as a major country to open its market to the world.在区域合作方面中国也实现了新突破。加快实施自由贸易区提升战略，自贸“朋友圈”不断扩大，签署自贸协定数由10个增长到19个，涉及26个国家和地区，与自贸伙伴贸易额占对外贸易总额比重由17%增长到35%。2022年1月1日，RCEP正式生效实施，全球人口最多、成员结构最多元、经贸规模最大的自贸区正式落地，为区域经济发展注入了新动力。正式申请加入全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定、数字经济伙伴关系协定，向实现高标准自贸协定目标迈出新步伐。New breakthroughs also have been achieved in mutually beneficial regional cooperation. China has been accelerating the implementation of the FTZ upgrading strategy, and China's circle of friends regarding free trade keeps expanding. The number of FTAs signed by China has increased from 10 to 19, involving 26 countries and regions. The trade with FTA partners as a share of China's total foreign trade has increased from 17 percent to 35 percent. On January 1, 2022, RCEP officially came into effect, marking the launch of a FTZ with the largest population, the most diversified membership structure and the largest economic and trade scale in the world, which injected new impetus into the regional economic development. China has made formal applications for accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA), taking new steps towards achieving the goal of concluding high-standard free trade agreements.近年来，中国在参与全球经济治理方面作出新贡献。统筹国内国际两个大局，同外部世界的互动持续加深。积极参与世贸组织改革，坚定维护多边贸易体制。主动参与国际宏观经济政策协调，倡导建设开放型世界经济。在二十国集团、亚太经合组织等国际舞台提出中国倡议、中国方案，2014年推动达成《APEC推动实现亚太自贸区北京路线图》，2016年推动达成《G20全球投资指导原则》，成为推动国际格局发展变化的重要力量之一。In recent years, China has made new contributions to global economic governance. By taking into account both domestic and international situations, China continues to deepen interactions with the outside world. China have actively participated in the reform of the WTO and firmly upheld the multilateral trade system. China has also played an active role in international macroeconomic policy coordination and advocated for the building of an open world economy. China has put forward initiatives and proposals in international arenas such as G20 and APEC. In 2014, China promoted the conclusion of the "Beijing Roadmap for APEC's Contribution to the Realization of the FTAAP." In 2016, China facilitated the conclusion of the "G20 Guiding Principles for Global Investment Policymaking," becoming one of the important forces driving the development and changes in the international landscape.![]()
