Developing New Quality Productive Forces Through High-Standard Opening Up

Abstract

Opening up holds the key to developing productive forces. It is the only way to steadily advance China’s modernisation drive. Since the launch of reform and opening up in the late 1970s, China has remained firm in its pursuit of opening up for mutual benefit and transformed from a largely closed country to one that is open to the world on all fronts, from a marginalised player in the global economic system to an active participant, and from a follower to a leader in economic globalisation. Practice has proved that reform and opening up have brought about the two miracles of rapid economic growth and enduring social stability in China. Opening up to the outside world provides an inexhaustible momentum for liberating and developing productive forces. At a new historical milestone, it is a major task for China in the new era to give full play to the role of opening up in promoting reform and development, develop new quality productive forces through high standard opening up, and continuously push forward Chinese modernisation to achieve high-quality development.
