1, from China Mountain Village to Zimbabwe: Party representatives hope that the world will enjoy development.

Before 25-year-old Xu Benyu became a representative of The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, she had become a famous person in China, because she volunteered to teach alone in poor mountainous areas. He went to Zimbabwe as a volunteer to teach Chinese earlier this year. The graduate student of Huazhong Agricultural University said: "At present, China advocates building a harmonious society with internal forces and a harmonious world with external forces. In my eyes, harmony means equal enjoyment of development opportunities. "

Although there are still a few days before the end of the Party Congress, Xu Benyu has booked a plane ticket back to Zimbabwe. 10 days later, he will appear in a class in Africa to train Chinese for Zimbabwean businessmen who aspire to "gold rush" in China.

At present, he is most concerned about what more realistic opportunities China's development can bring to his African students. In recent days, he is almost obsessed with the report of the 17th National Congress, hoping to find a clear answer.

"* * share development opportunities and * * * meet various challenges together", which is the definition of state-to-state relations by China leader Hu Jintao in the report of the 17th National Congress.

"The relationship between people should be the same." Xu Benyu said. Among the more than 2,200 delegates attending the 17th National Congress, Xu Benyu was not the only one who felt the same way.

Vice Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said that Hu Jintao's speech was a solemn declaration of China's adherence to the path of peaceful development. China should further develop friendly and cooperative relations with other countries in the world.

* * * Last year, the national election of Party representatives began. At the end of the year, Xu Benyu was recommended as a candidate by the school and was finally elected.

On June 4th, 2006, Hu Jintao announced at the summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation that it would send 300 young volunteers to Africa within three years. Hu Jintao also announced policies and measures such as expanding the scale of aid to Africa, further opening the market to Africa and providing preferential loans.

At that time, it was regarded as another concrete practice of China to promote the construction of a harmonious world. In April 2005, Hu Jintao first put forward the concept of a harmonious world at the Asia-Africa Summit, and in September of that year, he delivered an important speech entitled "Strive to Build a Harmonious World with Lasting Peace and Prosperity" at the 60th Anniversary Summit of the United Nations, which was widely supported and welcomed at home and abroad.

Former US Assistant Secretary of Defense joseph nye said that a harmonious world paints a positive picture of the future of mankind.

On the The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Hu Jintao once again called on: "People of all countries should work together to promote the building of a harmonious world of lasting peace and prosperity." This paper summarizes the connotation of building a harmonious world from five aspects: international relations, economy, culture, safety and environmental protection. The concept of a harmonious world was first written into the report of the Party Congress.

Xu Benyu was one of the first volunteers sent to Africa after the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the first volunteer sent to Zimbabwe by China. On June 5438+ 10 this year, he and another 14 volunteer arrived in Zimbabwe after 18 hours for Chinese training. The Zimbabwean government held a special ceremony to welcome them.

Xu Benyu said that foreign aid volunteers reminded him of party member Bethune, a Canadian doctor who came to China in 1938 to provide much-needed medical assistance to the people of China against Japanese invaders. The TV series Bethune was broadcast on China TV last year and was welcomed by countless viewers.

"I look forward to one day, if I can become a foreign aid volunteer and win glory for the motherland, it will be a glorious and happy thing." Xu Benyu said.

Xu Benyu marveled at the beauty of Harare, the Zimbabwean capital, and the friendliness of the local people. A 60-year-old official in charge once drove him back to his residence, and the locals always greeted him with a smile when they saw him.

However, the backwardness of Africa also made him suffer a lot, and he even often worried about how to buy cooking oil.

Africa is the poorest continent in the world. For every 65,438,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa, 465,438+0 people live on less than $65,438+0 a day. Looking back at the motherland on the other side of the globe, Xu Benyu and other volunteers felt for the first time that "the development of China is incredible"

With the development of China and the deepening of China-Africa relations, more and more Africans are looking to the East. Many students from Xu Benyu in Zimbabwe want to learn Chinese well, so that they can come to Yiwu, a small commodity trading center in eastern China, to buy goods. Over the years, many Africans have made money through mutually beneficial trade between China and Africa.

In many reports about Xu Benyu in China media, the young man was portrayed as a devout altruist. But he said modestly that he was just a grateful person, because he and his family got help from others in the most difficult time.

After graduating from Huazhong Agricultural University in 2003, Xu Benyu chose a closed primary school in a poor mountainous area in southwest China as a volunteer to be a teacher. In this primary school without electricity, he offered English, music, physical education and other courses for the first time.

On holidays, he flies back to the city like a migratory bird, earning living expenses by tutoring, and collecting books and school supplies for students in the street. Xu Benyu's actions are not isolated. In 2003, * * * Communist Youth League college students' volunteer service plan for the western region was launched. In the past five years, more than 50,000 college graduates have been selected to do voluntary work in towns and villages in more than 500 counties in the west.

The overseas service plan for young volunteers in China was officially launched in 2002. By the end of this year 1, 200 volunteers had been sent overseas. It was after seeing the reports about volunteers that Xu Benyu had the desire to help foreign countries.

"I hope all orientals, westerners and Africans can enjoy development opportunities." Xu Benyu said.

2. Unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development —— Experts interpret China's new diplomatic concept in the report of the 17th National Congress.

In the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was pointed out that China's foreign policy, China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development and promote the construction of a harmonious world with lasting peace and prosperity. Experts here believe that Hu Jintao's exposition on diplomacy in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China reveals the basic strategy of China's diplomacy and foreign relations in the new period.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Li She

"Taking the road of peaceful development and independence has always been the guiding principle of China's diplomacy and an inevitable choice for China to handle its foreign relations. Promoting the construction of a harmonious world and achieving win-win cooperation with all countries in the world is the goal of China's diplomacy, and there is an inherent and inseparable relationship between the two. " Wang Yizhou, deputy director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency.

"Peaceful development is the road that China will adhere to for a long time, and building a harmonious world is a targeted initiative put forward by China against disharmonious international relations and undemocratic international politics." Wang Yizhou said. He believes that these two aspects are an important yardstick to guide future diplomatic work and an important contribution made by China to handling international relations.

Liu Jiangyong, a professor at Tsinghua University, said that the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has more closely integrated the diplomatic concept with the overall strategic development of the country, and combined the grand goal of promoting the construction of a "harmonious world" with China's own long-term strategy of "peaceful development", which will become the basic policy guiding China's foreign policy for a long time.

In addition to the macro strategy and major policies, the basic position of China's diplomacy expounded in the report from the perspectives of economy, culture, security and environmental protection has also attracted the attention of experts.

"The report puts forward that' mutually beneficial economic cooperation and complementary advantages will promote the development of economic globalization in a balanced, inclusive and win-win direction' and broaden the positioning of mutually beneficial and win-win bilateral economic cooperation to all countries, which not only explains the principles of China's foreign exchanges from an economic perspective, but also reflects China's advocacy of building a harmonious world." Liu Jiangyong said.

Tao, a researcher at China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the international development has been uneven over the past decade or so. Comrade Hu Jintao's proposal to support the international community in helping developing countries to enhance their independent innovation capability, improve people's livelihood and narrow the gap between the North and the South shows that China seeks balanced development at home and abroad, and hopes that all countries in the world can benefit from the process of economic globalization. At the same time, he stressed that China does not do beggar-thy-neighbor things, but seeks a win-win strategy.

Regarding the report's proposal of "learning from each other in culture, seeking common ground while reserving differences, respecting the diversity of the world and promoting the prosperity and progress of human civilization", Liu Jiangyong said that culture is an important part of comprehensive national strength and an important carrier of foreign exchanges. Advocating mutual learning and diversity of civilizations is a contribution that a big country with peaceful development should make to the development of the international community and an indispensable part of building a harmonious world.

Regarding security cooperation, the report proposes to "trust each other, strengthen cooperation, persist in resolving international disputes by peaceful means rather than by war, and jointly safeguard world peace and stability". Liu Jiangyong said that the era of unilaterally emphasizing the security of a certain party is over, and the concept of unilaterally solving security problems by force or military means is outdated. Now it is necessary to establish better cooperation in non-traditional security fields through cooperation, mutual trust and diplomatic cooperation, so that both non-traditional security fields and traditional security fields can seek peace and development through cooperation.

Experts believe that the report puts forward China's ideas on environmental diplomacy for the first time, which is a "bright spot" in the diplomatic field. "Many problems, including excessive energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, cannot be solved by a country or faced by a country. They can only be solved through international cooperation. China, as a member of the international community, actively participates in international cooperation, sharing the responsibilities and fruits of cooperation with relevant countries. This is also an effort to promote world peace and development and build a harmonious world. " Liu Jiangyong said.

He said that promoting the harmonious development of people, society and nature in the world has expanded the extension of China's diplomacy, transcending the simple category of state-to-state relations and interpersonal relations in the past diplomatic ideas, and paying more attention to the harmonious development of people, nature and society.

Experts pointed out that the concepts of "peaceful development", "harmonious world" and "mutual benefit and win-win" show that China is striving to gradually establish a constructive and responsible image as a big country. China is emerging on the international stage with a more open, confident, rational and pragmatic diplomatic attitude, and its influence on the surrounding and even the world is increasing with the improvement of its comprehensive national strength.

"The report on China's diplomacy at the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has continued China's independent foreign policy of peace. With the development of this policy to a higher level, the three concepts of peace, harmony and win-win have once again declared to the world China's determination to take the road of peaceful development. "

3. Make New Steps in Opening-up —— Looking at the new ideas of China's opening-up strategy from the report of the 17th National Congress.

The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to expand the breadth and depth of opening to the outside world and improve the level of open economy. The report particularly emphasizes that it is necessary to "improve the internal and external linkage, mutual benefit and win-win, safe and efficient open economic system, and form new advantages in participating in international economic cooperation and competition under the conditions of economic globalization."

Some experts and representatives of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China believe that in the new historical period, faced with the new situation of opening wider to the outside world and increasingly fierce international competition, the report focuses on the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way with the key words of "internal and external linkage, mutual benefit and win-win, safety and high efficiency", which has profound connotations and reflects the new characteristics and trends of China's opening up.

"The new opening strategy is to make full use of international resources to support the transformation of development mode, realize scientific development and ensure the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Externally, it is to create a good international environment for peaceful development and ensure the peaceful rise of China. " Long Guoqiang, a researcher at the State Council Development Research Center, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency.

In less than 30 years of opening to the outside world, China has changed from a relatively closed economy to one of the most open developing economies. Opening to the outside world has gone through the early stage of pilot exploration, the stage of expanding opening up in the 1990 s and the stage of institutional opening up after joining the World Trade Organization. Opening to the outside world has effectively promoted the industrialization of China, greatly enhanced the international competitiveness of China's economy and its influence in the world economy, and China has been integrated into the world economy in a wider field and to a deeper extent.

"The relationship between contemporary China and the world has undergone historic changes, and the future and destiny of China are more and more closely linked with the future and destiny of the world." This statement about the relationship between China and the world in the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is remarkable, and it is an important basis for observing China's new strategic thought of opening to the outside world in the new period.

Long Guoqiang said that the main task of opening up in the past was to solve the contradiction between low export competitiveness and insufficient foreign exchange, so the focus of opening up was to do everything possible to expand exports and introduce foreign capital. At present, the gap between capital and foreign exchange needed for industrialization in China has been basically overcome, but it is facing new challenges such as increasing trade friction and increasing dependence of domestic development on external energy resources.

Facing the new situation, the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the position of adhering to the basic national policy of opening to the outside world. The report proposes to expand the open field, optimize the open structure and improve the open quality. Deepen coastal opening-up, speed up inland opening-up, strengthen border opening-up, and realize mutual promotion of domestic opening-up and opening-up.

Long Guoqiang believes that the opening strategy in the new era has many new connotations of "internal and external linkage": expanding the opening field and promoting the upgrading of China's industrial structure; Make full use of global resources and promote independent innovation; Expand foreign investment, cultivate multinational companies in China and so on.

Another important feature of the new thinking of opening to the outside world in the new period is to pay more attention to mutual benefit and win-win results. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes that China will unswervingly pursue a win-win opening-up strategy. Experts believe that this means that under the banner of building a harmonious world, China will promote the development of the region and the world with its own development, and will give more consideration to the interests of the other side, especially the developing countries, when carrying out multi-bilateral economic and trade cooperation.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce, at present, 1 out of every seven anti-dumping cases in the world involves China, which makes China the country that has suffered the most anti-dumping investigations for 10 year in a row, and the export commodities of 40 billion to 50 billion dollars are affected every year. Since last June 165438+ 10, the United States has launched joint investigations on China products for five consecutive times. Five products, such as coated paper, standard steel pipes, thin-walled rectangular steel pipes, composite woven bags and off-road tires, were affected, which directly related to China's export of US$ 860 million and the employment of 70,000 people.

At the same time, more than 30,000 enterprises in China have carried out transnational operations, with investments in more than 160 countries and regions, and more and more enterprises have carried out international operations through acquisitions and mergers. In the first half of this year, CITIC Group acquired 94.6% equity of Kazakstan Karazamba Oilfield, and China Mobile acquired 88.86% equity of Pakistan's fifth largest mobile operator Ba Courter Co., Ltd., which caused widespread concern.

Ren Hongbin, the representative of the 17th National Congress and general manager of China Machinery Industry Group, said that after years of development, many enterprises in China have the strength to compete in the international market. When enterprises develop overseas, they should pay great attention to their own image, undertake corresponding social responsibilities and actively repay the local society; At the same time, we should strengthen the concept of harmony, mutual benefit and win-win, actively carry out localized management and expand local employment.

The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also pointed out that attention should be paid to preventing international economic risks. Under the background of the accelerated development of economic globalization, it is particularly important to comprehensively improve the level of opening up to the outside world, earnestly safeguard national economic security, build an effective national economic security system and mechanism, enhance national economic security monitoring and early warning, crisis response and response capabilities, and protect the safety of overseas assets and personnel in China.

As the core of modern economy, the security of finance is directly related to the stability of the whole economic system. This year, the US subprime mortgage crisis hit the global financial market and cast a shadow over the world economic growth. Tu Guangshao, deputy to the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said: "Preventing financial risks is very important to ensure economic security. For example, the Japanese financial crisis and the Asian financial crisis in the past are lessons from the past."

Recently, Carlyle's acquisition of American Xugong and French Supor caused many people in China to worry about the national industrial economic security. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that it is necessary to improve relevant laws and regulations, encourage fair competition, guide and standardize the healthy development of foreign mergers and acquisitions, maintain control over important industries and key areas, and ensure national economic security.

According to the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Utilizing Foreign Capital issued by the National Development and Reform Commission on June 5438+065438+ 10, 2006, China will strengthen the examination and supervision of foreign capital mergers and acquisitions of key enterprises in sensitive industries involving national security, so as to ensure the control and development dominance of strategic industries and key enterprises related to national security and people's livelihood.
