China is embarking on an ambitious journey to modernize its economy and society, as highlighted in the recent communique from the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC). This pivotal moment marks a crucial period for building a great nation and achieving national rejuvenation through comprehensive reforms.
The communique emphasizes the continuous advancement of Chinese modernization through sustained reform and opening up. It states, \"Chinese modernization has been advanced continuously through reform and opening up, and it will surely embrace broader horizons through further reform and opening up. We must purposefully give more prominence to reform and further deepen reform comprehensively with a view to advancing Chinese modernization in order to better deal with the complex developments both at home and abroad, adapt to the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and live up to the new expectations of our people.\"
Chinese Modernization with Openness
In recent years, China has seen a surge in foreign visitors, thanks to its visa-free entry policy. These visitors have shared vibrant experiences on social media, showcasing the lively nightlife in Beijing's Liangmahe, the delectable street food in Shanghai, drone-delivered meals in Shenzhen, and the futuristic elevated light rail transit system along with driverless taxis in Wuhan. These glimpses highlight China's dynamic vibe and the openness and confidence of its people.
China's commitment to openness is a cornerstone of its modernization strategy, making it an attractive destination for tourists worldwide. The communique underscores this commitment: \"Opening up is a defining feature of Chinese modernization. We must remain committed to the basic state policy of opening to the outside world and continue to promote reform through opening up. Leveraging the strengths of China's enormous market, we will enhance our capacity for opening up while expanding cooperation with other countries and developing new institutions for a higher-standard open economy.\"
By fostering an environment of continuous reform and embracing openness, China aims to navigate the complexities of the global landscape, adapt to technological advancements, and meet the evolving expectations of its populace. This strategy not only propels Chinese modernization but also strengthens its position in the global economy, paving the way for sustainable growth and international collaboration.
