Commentator's article on January 2: Advocating Inclusive Economic Globalization - Four Discussions on Implementing the Spirit of the Foreign Affairs Work Conference.
* The Foreign Affairs Work Conference put forward the important proposition of advocating inclusive economic globalization, which has practical pertinence and strategic guidance, and will lead the right direction of economic globalization, contribute Chinese wisdom to solve a series of major problems and challenges facing the world today, and provide a solid foundation for building a community with a shared future for mankind, which is of great and far-reaching significance.
Economic globalization is an objective requirement for the development of productive forces, an inevitable result of scientific and technological progress, and is also the only way for human society to advance and an irreversible trend of the times. Since the end of the Cold War, economic globalization has promoted prosperity, investment facilitation, personnel mobility, and technological development, and promoted the rapid development of the world economy, especially the collective rise of emerging market countries. At the same time, we have seen a marked rise in various forms of protectionism in recent years, and the phenomena of internal and external treatment and the transfer of contradictions are worrying. Facts have proved that the beggar-thy-neighbor "anti-globalization" approach not only cannot solve its own chronic diseases, but also disrupts the global industrial chain, hinders the healthy development of the world economy, and causes the interests of all countries to be harmed.
We advocate that economic globalization should be inclusive and universal, that is, to conform to the common aspirations of all countries in the world, especially the developing countries, to solve the problem of imbalance in development between and within countries caused by the global allocation of resources, so that development can be both adequate and balanced, and to promote the formation of a globalization that is conducive to the accelerated development of all countries in the world, especially the developing countries. Today, when interdependence has become ubiquitous, all countries should not only develop themselves, but also think about how to make progress in a balanced manner with the development of the world. We need to work together to make the "cake" of economic globalization bigger and fairer, so that different countries, different strata and different groups of people can participate in and enjoy the fruits of economic and social development, so as to achieve mutual benefit and common prosperity.
We advocate that economic globalization should be inclusive, that is, to support all countries in embarking on a development path suited to their own national conditions, and at the same time work together to create common development for all mankind. It is necessary to oppose all forms of unilateralism and protectionism, and resist discriminatory and exclusive standards and rules. It is necessary to promote the liberalization and facilitation of investment and investment, maintain the stability and smoothness of the global industrial chain, promote mutual understanding and mutual accommodation among all parties, take care of each other's interests and concerns, solve the structural problems that hinder the healthy development of the world economy, and maintain the vitality and momentum of global economic growth.

All things are born according to their origins, and all things are made by their ways". We should deeply understand the great significance of this proposition, practice and actively practice it in foreign relations and international cooperation, promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, inclusive and balanced direction, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
