Opening up is always a theme of China despite the declining world openness index and weakening global consensus on opening up.

The country has established important cooperation platforms for global trade and economy such as the China International Import Expo, the China International Fair for Trade in Services, the China Import and Export Fair and the China International Consumer Products Expo.

The Belt and Road Initiative has constantly expanded the circle of friends for participating countries, and China-Europe freight trains are running day and night across the Eurasian continent. China, amid continuous opening up, is creating abundant development opportunities.

China will keep expanding opening up and share more dividends of its high-quality economic development with the rest of the world, so as to dispel the dark clouds over the world economy and achieve robust, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth for all.
