\”The next ‘China’ is still China!\” declared Chinese President Xi Jinping during his address at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit 2023. Speaking to a gathering of global business leaders, President Xi emphasized China’s ongoing and future contributions to the global economy.
Highlighting China’s resilience and growth potential, President Xi underscored the nation’s commitment to open cooperation and mutually beneficial partnerships. He reiterated China’s readiness to provide new opportunities for the world through its own development.
The APEC CEO Summit, a premier business event in the Asia-Pacific region, provided a platform for leaders to discuss economic growth and cooperation. President Xi’s remarks echoed the summit’s theme of promoting sustainable development and inclusive economic integration.
Supporting this optimistic outlook, recent surveys conducted by China Global Television Network (CGTN) and Renmin University of China (RUC) reveal strong international confidence in China’s economy. According to the research by the New Era International Communication Research Institute, an overwhelming 90.6 percent of global respondents view China as an important country. They believe that deepening mutually beneficial cooperation with China aligns with their own national interests.
This sentiment reflects a growing consensus within the international community on the significance of China’s role in global affairs. Business professionals, investors, and policymakers worldwide acknowledge the opportunities presented by China’s market and its influence on global economic trends.
As China continues to develop and engage with the world, President Xi’s assertion affirms the country’s position as a key driver of global economic growth. The message from the APEC CEO Summit is clear: China’s evolution remains integral to the future of the global economy.
