「為應對明顯增強的不穩定性不確定性，中國正式提出了新發展格局」「中國新發展格局預示著企業利好的新希望」「謀劃新發展格局，既結合了中國實際，也考慮到經濟全球化大勢」……一段時間以來，新發展格局成為國際社會解讀中國經濟的熱詞，世界普遍看好其中蘊蓄的中國經濟新能量。中國加快形成以國內大循環為主體、國內國際雙循環相互促進的新發展格局，既有利於激活中國經濟高質量發展的強勁內生動力，又將為各國發展帶來更多機遇，為世界經濟復甦增添新動力。
「明者因時而變，知者隨事而制。」面對世界經濟深度衰退、國際貿易和投資大幅萎縮、國際金融市場動蕩、國際交往受限、經濟全球化遭遇逆流、一些國家保護主義和單邊主義盛行、地緣政治風險上升等不利局面，中國面臨在一個更加不穩定不確定的世界中謀求發展的重要課題。在世界眼中，中國始終展現出「準確識變、科學應變、主動求變」的魄力和定力，無論面對何種艱難險阻，都能集中力量辦好自己的事，以自身「確定性」有效應對外部「不確定性」。中國率先控制住國內疫情，全面推進復工復產復商復市，第二季度經濟同比增長3.2%，在疫情防控和經濟恢復上都走在世界前列；7月製造業採購經理指數為51.1%，連續5個月位於榮枯線之上。事實證明，中國牢牢把握住了發展主動權，中國經濟擁有足夠韌性。
觀察中國新發展格局，能夠清晰聽到中國面向世界開放的鏗鏘足音。內部可循環是中國經濟的優勢。中國具有全球最完整、規模最大的工業體系、強大的生產能力、完善的配套能力，擁有1億多市場主體和1.7億多受過高等教育或擁有各類專業技能的人才，擁有包括4億多中等收入群體在內的14億人口所形成的超大規模市場，完全具備通過繁榮國內經濟、暢通國內大循環為中國經濟增添動力的能力。同時也要看到，以國內大循環為主體，絕不是關起門來封閉運行，而是通過發揮內需潛力，使國內市場和國際市場更好聯通，更好利用國際國內兩個市場、兩種資源，實現更加強勁可持續的發展。改革開放40多年的實踐充分證明，開放帶來進步，封閉必然落後。過去中國經濟發展是在開放條件下取得的，未來中國經濟發展也必須在更加開放的條件下進行。中國開放的大門不會關閉，只會越開越大。事實上，即使面對疫情帶來的巨大衝擊，中國對外開放的節奏和步伐也在不斷加快，廣交會首次整體搬上「雲端」，《海南自由貿易港建設總體方案》正式印發、2020年版外商投資準入負面清單進一步縮減等一系列舉措，讓世界看到不斷分享中國機遇、以中國自身發展帶動世界經濟復甦的巨大潛力。
中國的新發展格局，無疑將給世界提供更多合作機遇、創造更多發展紅利。世界銀行近日就中國優化營商環境的成功經驗發布專題報告，認為中國近年來在「放管服」改革優化營商環境領域取得了巨大成就。伴隨著中國經濟的蓬勃發展，越來越多外資企業選擇到中國發展。中國商務部近期的一項問卷調查顯示，99.1%的外資企業表示將繼續在華投資經營。美中貿委會最近對150餘家企業的調查結果顯示，中國近年來進一步擴大開放、優化營商環境的舉措為外企在華生產經營創造了便利，美國企業依然看好中國市場。中國歐盟商會主席伍德克表示，歐盟企業對在華發展充滿信心，希望成為中國發展故事的一部分。正在籌備的第三屆中國國際進口博覽會，世界500強和行業龍頭企業的平均展覽面積將比第二屆增加14%。美國《財富》雜誌報導指出，今年以來，外國對華投資一直穩步增長，全球投資者比以往更看好中國。外資企業對中國投下信任票，充分展現了對中國發展的信心。
從長遠看，經濟全球化仍是歷史潮流，各國分工合作、互利共贏是長期趨勢。中國站在歷史正確的一邊，加快形成以國內大循環為主體、國內國際雙循環相互促進的新發展格局，是堅持深化改革、擴大開放，推動建設開放型世界經濟的負責任之舉，體現了中國應對風險挑戰的信心和底氣，彰顯了中國推動世界經濟發展的智慧和擔當。

The new development pattern proposed by China has become a buzzword of the international community in reading the Chinese economy, and the world is generally optimistic about the vitality of Chinese economy carried by the new development pattern.
In response to markedly mounting instabilities and uncertainties, China brought to the table the new development pattern whereby domestic and foreign markets can boost each other, with the domestic market as the mainstay.
It is believed that China’s new development pattern has combined its own reality and the trend of economic globalization and heralds new hopes and benefits for enterprises.
Gathering pace in creating such a new development pattern, China will generate strong endogenous driving forces for its high-quality economic development, bring more opportunities for the development of other countries, and give fresh impetus to world economic recovery.
As a Chinese saying goes, a wise man changes as time and event change. As the world economy encounters a deep recession; global trade and investment shrink sharply; international financial market is thrown into turmoil; international exchanges are restricted; economic globalization runs into countercurrents; protectionism and unilateralism prevail in some countries; and geopolitical risks rise, China has to seek development in a more unstable and uncertain world.
It has become quite clear to the world that China has always been determined to accurately recognize changes, respond to changes in a science-based manner and actively seek changes.
No matter faced with what difficulties or obstacles, it has been able to pool national strength and manage its own affairs well, effectively dealing with external uncertainties with its own certainties.
After promptly containing the COVID-19 epidemic at home, China has been promoting the resumption of work, production, business and market comprehensively, leading the way in both epidemic response and economic recovery.
China’s economy grew by 3.2 percent year-on-year in the second quarter. Its manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) rose to 51.1 in July, expanding for the fifth consecutive month (a reading above 50 indicates expansion).
Facts have shown that China has seized the initiative in development and the Chinese economy boasts strong resilience.
China’s new development pattern has demonstrated once again the country’s determination to open up to the world.
One of the advantages of Chinese economy is a huge domestic market. China has the largest industrial system in the world with the most complete categories, strong production capabilities, complete supporting sectors, over 100 million market entities and a talent pool of more than 170 million people, as well as a super-large domestic market of 1.4 billion people, including over 400 million middle-income earners.
Therefore, the country is fully capable of adding momentum to the Chinese economy by stimulating the huge domestic market.
Taking the domestic market as the mainstay is absolutely not an operation behind closed doors. China will release the potential of its domestic demand, better connect the domestic and international markets, and make better use of the two resources, to realize robust sustainable development.
The practice of China’s reform and opening-up over the past 40 some years has shown that openness brings progress while seclusion leads to backwardness.
China’s economic growth over the past 40 years was achieved with a commitment to opening-up. In the same vein, high-quality development of China’s economy in the future can only be guaranteed with greater openness. China’s door will never be closed; it will only open still wider.
The truth is China has managed to speed up opening-up even amid the COVID-19 epidemic. It has taken a series of measures, such as hosting the 2020 China Import and Export Fair online, releasing the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and shortening the 2020 negative list for foreign investment, showing the world the huge potential of China for continuously sharing its opportunities and driving world economic recovery through its own development.
China’s new development pattern will surely provide more opportunities for cooperation and create more development dividends.
China has made great achievements in advancing reforms to delegate power, streamline administration and optimize government services as well as in improving the business environment, according to a report on China’s success in doing business issued recently by the World Bank.
As the Chinese economy thrives, more and more foreign companies have expanded their business to China.
According to a recent survey conducted by the Ministry of Commerce, 99.1 percent of foreign-funded companies will continue to invest and operate in China.
The U.S.-China Business Council’s latest survey of some 150 companies also shows that China’s measurestofurther open upandoptimizeitsbusiness environmentinthe past few years have created convenienceforforeign companies』 production and operation in China, and the UScompaniesare still upbeat on the Chinese market.
Companies from the European Union (EU) remain confident in their development in China and hope to become part of Chinas development story, said Joerg Wuttke, President of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China.
China is preparing the 3rd China International Import Expo (CIIE) to be held this November, where the average exhibition area for the Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders will increase by 14 percent from last year.
Foreign investment in China has been rising steadily since January and global investors are more optimistic about China than ever before, as pointed out by Fortune magazine.
The fact that foreign companies are willing to invest in China fully shows their confidence in China’s economic development.
Economic globalization is what the world will definitely go through, while it is a long-term trend for countries to work in cooperation with division of labor for mutual benefits.
China will stand on the correct side of history and gather pace in forming the new development pattern, sticking to deepening reforms and opening up as well as advancing the development of an open world economy.
It demonstrates China’s confidence and capabilities in dealing with risks and challenges as well as its wisdom and responsibility in promoting world economic growth.
