BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — An article by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on unswervingly advancing high-standard opening-up will be published on Wednesday.
The article by Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, will be published in this year's 14th issue of the Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee.
The article, based on excerpts of Xi's important discourses made between December 2012 and April 2025, stresses the need to continue to expand high-standard opening-up, urging efforts to steadily advance institutional opening-up with respect to rules, regulations, management, and standards, and proactively align with high-standard international economic and trade rules.
China will implement a strategy to upgrade pilot free trade zones, encourage pioneering and integrated explorations, and develop them into new heights of reform and opening-up with a higher level of openness and a stronger driving force, the article says, adding that mechanisms for high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative will be improved.
The article emphasizes that the more open China is, the greater importance it should attach to security. It also stresses advancing high-standard opening-up on the basis of the rule of law.
China's policies on utilizing foreign investment have not changed and will not change, the article says. Having the world's second-largest consumer market and largest middle-income group, China offers great potential for investment and consumption, the article says, stressing that China has been and will surely remain an ideal, secure, and promising destination for foreign investors.
China adheres to the right course of economic globalization, promotes trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and opposes protectionism, unilateral sanctions and maximum pressure tactics, says the article.
