China is taking bold steps to supercharge economic ties at home and abroad. Recent moves include removing foreign investment restrictions in the manufacturing sector and rolling out visa-free access for select travelers—aimed at tapping both domestic and external demand.
In the latest BizTalk interview, CGTN's Michael Wang sits down with Yang Hangjun, associate dean at the School of International Trade and Economics at the University of International Business and Economics, and Xu Tianqi, deputy director of the International Department at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China. They unpack how these high-level opening-up measures are dovetailing with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to reshape global cooperation.
The BRI's flagship projects—like the China-Europe Railway Express that links factories to markets, the Digital Silk Road powering tech partnerships, and green development ventures—are boosting infrastructure, fostering tech exchange, and helping nations expand their development capacity.
By bringing high-level opening-up and BRI efforts together, China is building a framework that aims to be more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable. For young global citizens, entrepreneurs, changemakers, and digital nomads, these shifts signal new opportunities: from supply-chain innovation to cross-border collaborations that go beyond traditional trade.
As the world watches, these strategies offer a glimpse of how cooperation and connectivity can drive shared prosperity—and why the journey of global integration is far from over.
