BEIJING, May 8 (Xinhua) — China will pursue high-level opening up to the outside world, win-win cooperation and become an engine of global economic growth, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Thursday.
Lin Jian made the remarks while commenting at the request of the media on the opinion that the resilience of the Chinese economy allows it to withstand various external shocks, and the viability of the Chinese economy during the May Day holiday seemed to have completely dispelled concerns about the country’s economic prospects.
“The rapid growth in consumption during the holiday reflects the vitality and potential of the Chinese economy,” Lin Jian said, adding that the average daily number of foreign nationals entering and leaving the country during the five-day May Day holiday was about 1.1 million, up 43.1 percent year-on-year, while sales of travel packages to China increased by about 90 percent during the period.
“Measures to increase institutional openness are being translated into practical attractiveness for foreign tourists,” he added.
Lin Jian noted that indicators such as foreign buyer attendance and record pre-export transactions at the recently concluded Guangzhou Fair demonstrate the international business community’s continued optimism about the long-term development of China’s economy.
“Temporary fluctuations will neither sink the giant ship of the Chinese economy nor stop the Chinese people’s aspiration for a better life,” Lin Jian stressed, adding that China has always been committed to a policy of high-level opening up, win-win cooperation, and is striving to become the engine of global economic growth. -0-
