Reconstruction Of Foreign Trade In 13Th Five-Year Is Both A Challenge And An Opportunity.

In the fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, for the first time, a "higher level open economy" was developed. On the one hand, it reflected the adjustment of China's economic structure and quality; on the other hand, it reflected China's more active attitude in participating in global economic governance and public goods supply.

During the "12th Five-Year" period, China has become the world's largest cargo trading country and has become a milestone in the development of China's foreign trade. In 2011 ~2015, China's total import and export volume totaled more than 20 trillion US dollars, 1.7 times the "11th Five-Year" period.

However, China's foreign trade growth has not reached its target for 3 consecutive years. Experts said that the growth rate of China's foreign trade in 2015 will also be in the single digit interval.

Facing the new changes in the environment at home and abroad since the "12th Five-Year", experts said that during the "13th Five-Year" period, the development strategy of foreign trade will be reshaped, the focus will shift from growth rate to market share and development quality, so as to push China's foreign trade towards a high-end level.

Tu Xinquan believes that this is the optimization of structure and quality through open type. economic structure Adjustment, and develop a higher level open economy.

"In the fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, we proposed that we should improve the business environment of legalization, internationalization and facilitation. In fact, we have pointed out deep-seated problems that restrict the development of China's foreign trade." Xiao Xinyan told our reporter that for a long time, many deep-seated problems in the domestic market, such as restrictions on free movement of elements, fair competition and the lack of rule of law and the internationalization of business environment, are not only restricting the development of domestic trade, but also impeding the absorption of high-quality resources and elements in the world, thus limiting the field of foreign trade and foreign investment. This restriction will gradually tighten along with the expansion of China's economic and trade scale.

In addition, the formulation of "advanced manufacturing base and economic zone with global influence" is also a new highlight in the fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. Tu Xinquan told the newspaper reporter, "the" advanced system base "may refer to the free trade area, emphasizing the system experiment, further integrating with the international practice.

In the fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, we pointed out that we must comply with the trend of China's economic integration into the world economy, pursue a win-win strategy of opening up, develop a higher level open economy, actively participate in global economic governance and public goods supply, improve our institutional discourse power in global economic governance, and build a broad interest community.

Tu Xinquan, executive director of the WTO Research Institute of University of International Business and Economics, said in an interview that "the development of a higher level open economy" has never been done before, which shows that China is more proactive in participating in global economic governance.

Tu Xinquan said that in the past, our country was more involved. economic system Accept international Economic rules 。 Now we must participate in the formulation of rules and take part in the transformation of international economy. This is a higher level expression.

"The development of a higher level open economy" reflects our country's more active attitude in participating in global economic governance and public goods supply, and also demonstrates our country's responsibility consciousness in the global economic governance. By enhancing the institutional discourse power, we will build a broad interest community and achieve a wider range of mutual benefits. Xiao Xinyan, an associate researcher of the Ministry of Commerce's Foreign Trade Research Institute, also put forward the same view.

She also stressed that the importance of innovation and development was emphasized in the fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. Innovation in the field of foreign trade is embodied in strategic planning, institutional mechanisms, open mode, business mode, trade mode and so on. Through more active, more comprehensive and initiative opening-up, domestic reform and economic development will be promoted, and the driving force of innovation will be enhanced.
