China keeps its door wide open
A series of measures have been put forward to reduce the restrictions on foreign trade and investment.
In 1980, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council decided to name four southern China cities, namely Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen, as special economic zones of the country. The establishment of these economic zones marked the further development of China's opening up.
Thus, the country decided to fasten its pace. In 1984, 14 other coastal cities all over the nation have been opened up, with all of their geographical advantages unleashed.
As Xi noted during a meeting with the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Political Bureau members, "World's prosperity and stability is China's opportunity, while China's development being world's opportunity."
Forty years of China's rapid development has pushed the world's economy forward, motivating the world's economy from gentle recovery to steady growth. China has not only benefited itself, but also pushed the whole world ahead.
