People's Review: Why is there no market for zero-sum game? Three "Oriental Appointments" have answers

In recent times, three grand events have made many expectations come true.

At the ongoing CIIE, Rwandan female entrepreneur Mbabazi flew more than 10,000 kilometers to Shanghai to find a market for her carefully selected honey products.

At the just-concluded Wuzhen Summit of the World Internet Conference, Nigerian young man Zheng Zewei not only demonstrated smart agricultural machinery such as driverless tractors to overseas fans, but also aspired to bring "Zhejiang's advanced model" back to his hometown.

At the recent Canton Fair, Portuguese buyer Villarissa "gathered" business partners in one venue, significantly improving the efficiency of business negotiations.

An open and inclusive China has set up a platform and supported the dreams of countless overseas businessmen like them. Guests from all over the world come here in droves, which also brings together more essential resources for China, stimulates innovation vitality, and broadens the boundaries of development.

How can China achieve two-way journeys across mountains and seas one after another?

Let’s first look at the integration and mutual promotion of innovation and creation.

The 5G remote surgical robot developed by Siemens Healthineers based on the needs of the Chinese market has benefited Chinese patients and has gradually become a standard feature of its global products; Tesla has used the Chinese supply chain to improve technology and increase production capacity, which in turn has activated a "pool of spring water" for domestically produced new energy vehicles... Innovation grows in collisions, and value symbiotics in blending.

From attracting many foreign companies to set up R&D centers and innovation centers to helping developing countries consolidate infrastructure and cultivate industries, China has long surpassed its role as the "world's factory" and has become both a source of global innovation and an enabler of global development. When you move forward, you also reach out to give your partner a hand; when your partner moves forward, you also hand him a new ladder. China's development never involves you losing or me winning, but growing together.

Let’s look at how to achieve win-win results while bridging differences.

Economic globalization is the direction, but it also brings about development gaps and issues of fairness; the wave of AI is coming again, and the distribution of computing power, data, and talents is uneven. Will the chasm get deeper and deeper? China responded.

At the Wuzhen Summit, AI open source and openness became the keyword. Chinese companies continue to open up their reasoning frameworks and model capabilities to provide technical foundations to developers around the world; in turn, open source attracts global participants and can help large models accelerate iteration and maturity, forming a complete technology ecosystem.

At the CIIE, dried mangoes and roselle pollen from Côte d'Ivoire, coffee from Ethiopia, and mutton from Madagascar were very popular. They not only enriched the pockets of farmers and herdsmen in their respective countries, but also enriched the dining tables of Chinese people.

The leaders monopolize and the laggards depend on each other. This is the inertia of the past. China must break this inertia, use universal benefits to offset divisions, achieve great harmony through sharing, and push the world towards a bright future of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Deeper resonance and integration lies in the value concept.

The Canton Fair has been held for the 140th time. No matter what storms it encounters, it has never stopped for 70 years. The CIIE provides more than just booths. It also continues to amplify the effect of China’s zero-tariff policy with 53 African countries that have diplomatic relations with China, conveying the value pursuit of win-win cooperation and harmony and symbiosis.

Winning the battle against poverty, lifting nearly 100 million rural poor people out of poverty, vividly interpreting the supremacy of the people, and turning common prosperity from fantasy into reality; practicing the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", breaking the old path of pollution first and then treating, and finding a new path of harmonious coexistence between man and nature... China's governance experience provides valuable reference for countries in the global South. The development of the global South is promoting world peace and common prosperity, and polishing the quality of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Today's China has created a new form of human civilization, and its own practice along the way has proved that modernization does not mean treating other people's today as one's own tomorrow, but allowing each civilization to grow its own future.

At the beginning of this century, China joined the WTO. Many people at home and abroad were waiting and watching: What will the integration of an economy of this size into the world bring? Some people are optimistic and expectant, while others are pessimistic and panicked. Now, more than 20 years later, the answer is particularly clear. China has not only developed itself, but also benefited the world.

Openness is never a one-way grant, but a mutual embrace and mutual achievement between China and the world. China, which delivers opportunities to the outside world and accumulates strength inward, and opens its door wider and wider, will stand shoulder to shoulder with other countries to fulfill long-term commitments and pursue win-win results.
