"China’s development in poverty alleviation, environmental protection, scientific and technological innovation and other fields is at the forefront of the world. The development and changes in various fields in China are a vivid portrayal of Chinese modernization." Bolger Brende, president of the World Economic Forum, said in an exclusive interview with this reporter in Beijing a few days ago that "China has successfully embarked on a road of modernization with China characteristics through correct decision-making and effective governance. As the second largest economy in the world, China has contributed more than 30% to the world economic growth for many years. I am full of confidence in China’s economic growth prospects. "
Brende has visited China many times and was deeply impressed by the development of China in various fields. "This visit to China comes in the autumn season. Beijing’s blue sky is like washing, and the ecological environment has improved significantly. " Brende said that in the past 10 years, China has been at the forefront of the world in the fields of wind energy and solar energy, and the continuous application of new technologies has greatly reduced the utilization cost of global renewable energy. "China actively and steadily promotes carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions and plays an increasingly important role in coping with climate change and protecting biodiversity."
Brende said that China has made remarkable achievements in digital development, and innovative technology has become an important engine of China’s economic growth. According to statistics, the Internet penetration rate in China is as high as 76.4%, and the overall level of higher education ranks first in the world. China’s scientific and technological innovation ability in the fields of biotechnology, Internet of Things, renewable energy and other new technologies has been continuously enhanced, which is conducive to achieving more sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
"Since it was first held in China in 2007, the Summer Davos Forum has been successfully held for 14 sessions. The forum provided China with a window to understand the world and a platform for the world to understand China. " Brende said that the World Economic Forum has maintained friendly and cooperative relations with China for more than 40 years, and will continue to devote itself to promoting exchanges and dialogues between the public sector and private enterprises, thus contributing to building a community of human destiny.
China advocates unswervingly pushing forward economic globalization, guiding the direction of economic globalization, creating a dynamic growth model, an open and win-win cooperation model, a fair and reasonable governance model, and a balanced and inclusive development model, firmly establishing a sense of community of human destiny, and jointly promoting global development. Brende said, "In the face of global challenges such as climate change, the international community should not beggar its neighbors, but help each other in the same boat and work together to build a cleaner and more beautiful world."
Brende is very concerned about the 2023 China International Fair for Trade in Services held in Beijing not long ago. There are many enterprises from artificial intelligence, digital medical care and other fields attending this service trade fair, which shows that China’s super-large-scale market has great development potential and strong attraction. "China is the largest manufacturing country in the world, and the China market is of great significance to the recovery and growth of the world economy." Brende said that China continues to expand its high-level opening to the outside world, and strives to create a market-oriented, rule-of-law and international business environment, attracting more foreign-funded enterprises to invest in China. "At present, unilateralism and trade protectionism are on the rise, and zero-sum game thinking is on the rise. All countries in the world need to strengthen open cooperation and jointly promote development and prosperity."
