In order to make economic relations closer, deeper mutual cooperation, and broader development space for each country, we can use innovative cooperation models to jointly build the "Silk Road Economic Belt", and gradually form regional cooperation from point to surface, from line to piece.

——On September 7, 2013, Xi Jinping said in a speech at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan

China is willing to strengthen maritime cooperation with ASEAN countries, make good use of the China-ASEAN Maritime Cooperation Fund established by the Chinese government, develop maritime cooperative partnerships, and jointly build the 21st Century "Maritime Silk Road".

——On October 3, 2013, President Xi Jinping said in a speech to the Indonesian Parliament

Interpretation: The construction of the “Belt and Road Initiative” is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the General Secretary to actively respond to the profound changes in the global situation and co-ordinate the domestic and international overall situation.

It is of great significance for advancing China's new round of opening up and the common development of the countries along the route. At present, economic globalization is developing in depth, regional economic integration is accelerating, and global growth, trade, and investment patterns are undergoing profound adjustments. Asia and Europe are all in the critical stage of economic transformation and upgrading. It is necessary to further stimulate the development vitality and cooperation potential in the region. The "One Belt, One Road" strategic concept was put forward, meeting the common needs of the countries along the route, and opening up new windows of opportunity for complementary and open development of the countries along the route.

"Belt and Road" talks about cooperation under the framework of equal cultural identity. It is a country's strategic decision and it reflects the spirit of peace, exchange, understanding, tolerance, cooperation and win-win.

As China becomes the world's second-largest economy, the voice of the "China threat theory" in the international community is endless. The construction of the "Belt and Road" is exactly what China is doing to dispel doubts and declare peaceful rise to the world: China's rise does not come at the expense of the interests of other countries.

Constructing a New Opening-up Pattern and Promoting Regional Cooperation

Promote the construction of the "Silk Road Economic Belt", step up the formulation of strategic plans, and strengthen the construction of infrastructure interconnection. Construct the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road", strengthen the construction of maritime passages, and strengthen the ties of mutual interest.

——In December 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Central Economic Work Conference

Interpretation: Looking back at history, more than 2,000 years ago, people of all countries carried out trade through the two silk roads, sea and land. From Zhang Ye ’s ambassador to the Western Region more than 2,100 years ago and Zheng He ’s voyages to the Western Ocean more than 600 years ago, the two silk roads, sea and land, exported Chinese silk, tea, porcelain, and so on to the countries along the way, bringing civilization and friendship and winning the people of all countries. Praise and love.

Nowadays, with the rise and take-off of China ’s economy, China is able to help other countries in more ways, especially as a major manufacturing country. Not only can China export colorful and inexpensive daily necessities, but it can also provide the world with more Technology and equipment. As a major foreign exchange reserve country in the world, China can work with other countries to cope with financial risks. China has the strength to invest overseas and seize development opportunities with countries that urgently need funds.

The Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng wrote an article explaining the strategic significance of the “Belt and Road”, saying that in the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China has made great achievements in opening up to the world, but it is affected by factors such as geographical location, resource endowment, and development foundation. It showed a pattern of fast east, slow west, strong sea and weak land. The "Belt and Road" will build a new round of "one body and two wings" for opening up to the outside world. While increasing the level of opening up to the east, it will speed up the pace of opening up to the west and help inland border areas to move from the edge of opening up to the forefront.

According to China Economic Net, most of the “Belt and Road” are emerging economies and developing countries, with a total population of about 4.4 billion and a total economy of about 21 trillion U.S. dollars, accounting for about 63% and 29% of the world's total. These countries are generally in a rising period of economic development, and the prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation are broad. Deeply tapping the potential of cooperation between China and the countries along the route will certainly enhance the status of emerging economies and developing countries in China's opening up pattern, promote the opening up of China's central and western regions and border areas, and promote the opening up of the eastern coastal areas to transform and upgrade their economies. And then form a new pattern of open sea-land integration, east-west cooperation, and global orientation.

The development of China's economy is a process of continuous pioneering and innovation and breakthroughs. From the coastal areas to the western inland, the "Belt and Road" construction will create prerequisites for comprehensively deepening reforms and sustainable development. Looking for a new pattern of regional cooperation The focus and breakthrough point for future development can be described as "a complete fall of energy".

In the context of China's recent implementation of the Western Development Strategy, economic and trade cooperation between China and Central Asia and even more countries to the west has become an inevitable trend of development. And China's development experience and achievements can be used as a reference for countries in Central Asia and other countries. The continuous construction of highways, railways, oil and gas pipelines, and network communication facilities is forming a modern caravan on the ancient Silk Road.

New Silk Road connects "Chinese Dream" with "World Dream"

China will work with other countries to accelerate the construction of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road", start the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank as soon as possible, participate more in the regional cooperation process, and promote the mutual promotion and complementarity of Asian development and security. .

——On May 21, 2014, Xi Jinping pointed out in his keynote speech at the Asia-Pacific Summit

Interpretation: Opening the world map, we can see that the “Belt and Road”, the longest-spanning economic corridor in the world, originated in China and penetrated Central Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, and parts of Europe. European Economic Circle. It is the world's most potential economic belt. From the perspective of developing the economy, improving people's livelihood, or responding to the financial crisis and accelerating the transformation and upgrading, the future and fate of the countries along the route have never been as closely connected and shared as before. .

The “Belt and Road” is not only a strategic idea for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also a common cause of the countries along the route. It is conducive to transforming the advantages of mutual political trust, geographical proximity, and economic complementarity into pragmatic cooperation and sustainable growth.

Through the "Belt and Road" construction, whether it is "going east to the sea" or "advancing west", China will form a "five links" with neighboring countries. In the "Belt and Road" strategic cooperation, economic and trade cooperation is the cornerstone. Following the Silk Road spirit of peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning, mutual benefit and win-win results, China and other countries along the route will certainly usher in transportation infrastructure, trade and investment, energy cooperation, regional integration, and RMB internationalization. A new era of co-creation and sharing.

According to China Economic Net, China ’s trade volume with the “Belt and Road” countries exceeded US $ 1 trillion in 2013, accounting for 1/4 of China ’s total foreign trade. Over the past 10 years, China's trade with countries along the route has grown at an average annual rate of 19%. In the next five years, China will import US $ 10 trillion of goods, and its overseas investment will exceed US $ 500 billion. The number of outbound tourists will be about 500 million. The neighboring countries and countries along the Silk Road will take the lead.

Building "Community of Interests" and "Community of Destiny"

It is hoped that both sides will carry forward the spirit of the Silk Road, and jointly build the "Silk Road Economic Belt" and "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" as new opportunities and new starting points, and continue to deepen comprehensive cooperation and common development of China-Arab strategic cooperative relations.

—— On June 5, 2014, Xi Jinping attended the 6th Ministerial Conference of the China-Arab Cooperation Forum

Interpretation: The “Belt and Road” is an open and inclusive economic cooperation initiative. It is not limited to any country, is not an entity, and does not engage in a closed mechanism. Willing countries and economies can participate in it and become “Belt and Road” supporters Builders and beneficiaries. In the future of joint construction, the "Belt and Road" will undoubtedly release greater vitality.

Deputy Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui said on March 22 that "many projects in the future 'Belt and Road' process may involve more countries and entities and be more open."

Liu Jinsong, deputy director of the Department of International Economics of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, previously stated that the “Belt and Road” initiative is in line with the trend of the times, and Asia has become the engine of economic growth and the backbone of multipolarization and globalization of the world. How to consolidate peaceful development, further consolidate the consensus and strength of Asian countries, strengthen the "community of interests" and "community of destiny", and achieve harmonious Asia are the common issues of Asian countries.

The "One Belt, One Road" strategic concept is taking root in the hearts of peoples of all countries in the world. A grand blueprint for the resurgence of the Silk Road, which traverses east and west and seeks common development, is unfolding. With dreams, pursuits, struggles, everything is possible. The Chinese people have dreams, and the peoples of the world have dreams, which will bring infinite vitality and bright prospects to the world.
