Its industrial foundation, factor endowments, innovation capabilities and other fundamentals are sound and stable. The overall trend of long-term economic improvement will not change and will continue to contribute to the world. Economic development provides a powerful impetus. China has a very large market and is in a stage of rapid demand release. It will form a large-scale development increment in new urbanization, green transformation and other aspects, and will provide a broader space for world trade and investment growth. No matter how the world situation changes, China will adhere to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, and the door of opening up will only open wider and wider. Choosing the Chinese market is not a risk, but an opportunity. We open our arms and sincerely welcome companies from all over the world to continue to invest in China. We will steadily expand institutional opening up, continue to reduce the negative list for foreign investment access, ensure national treatment for foreign-invested enterprises, and continue to strive to create a market-oriented, legal and international first-class business environment.
