Industrial production has also risen and capacity utilization is increasing,&#8221; the OECD said in its report.<\/p>\n<p>The organization also pointed out that new COVID-19 cases reported sporadically in China will not pose a major risk to its economy because of its &#8220;proven tracing, testing and isolation system.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It appears that once again, China is driving the global economy out of the trough,&#8221; said Margit Molnar, head of the China Desk of the OECD.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;China will stand out with its robust growth throughout our forecast horizon,&#8221; Molnar said. &#8220;In that sense, China will likely remain a greater contributor to global growth than it was in the couple of years prior to the pandemic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s economic growth amid the pandemic is leading the world, and global chief financial officers have upgraded their outlook for China&#8217;s economy to &#8220;Modestly Improving&#8221; in the fourth quarter of the year from its third quarter rating of &#8220;Stable,&#8221; according to a recent survey conducted by the CNBC Global CFO Council.<\/p>\n<p>Similar projections from other organizations such as the Bank of China Research Institute and the International Monetary Fund have highlighted the fact that China has served as a major engine of the world economy amid the pandemic, said Xulio Rios, director of the Observatory of Chinese Politics in Spain.<\/p>\n<p>Shared opportunities<\/p>\n<p>Upholding the vision of shared benefits, China has decided to speed up a new development pattern of &#8220;dual circulation,&#8221; which is expected to enable the world&#8217;s second largest economy to share more of its development opportunities with the world.<\/p>\n<p>The new pattern, where domestic and foreign markets can boost each other, with the domestic market as the mainstay, does not mean a closed-door circulation, but represents a continuation of China&#8217;s opening-up efforts.<\/p>\n<p>With its per capita GDP topping 10,000 U.S. dollars and middle-income population exceeding 400 million, China has a huge domestic market with growing appetite for a greater variety of quality products, technologies and services from across the world.<\/p>\n<p>As the global demand has waned amid the pandemic, the steady unleashing of the Chinese market potential will certainly provide the most-desired business possibilities and add stronger impetus to the stable growth of the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;China was the first country to fully recover,&#8221; said Molnar. &#8220;That has a very big importance for the world because it means the second biggest economy in the world has recovered. This means a huge source of demand for all the other countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the post-pandemic era, China will continue to be the locomotive of global growth,&#8221; said Koh King Kee, president of Malaysia&#8217;s think tank Center for New Inclusive Asia.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;China&#8217;s huge market and domestic demand are like a huge driving gear to bring about the recovery and development of the world economy and bring more opportunities to other countries and the world,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The new development pattern will also prompt China to take a more active part in the international division of labor, and get more tightly integrated into global industrial, supply and value chains.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the pandemic-induced obstacles, China&#8217;s foreign trade of goods totaled 29.04 trillion yuan (about 4.44 trillion U.S. dollars) in the first 11 months, up 1.8 percent year on year, according to official figures.<\/p>\n<p>Commitment to opening-up<\/p>\n<p>By unveiling proposals for a stable and consistent development plan with a pledge of further opening-up, China has injected a sense of certainty into a turbulent world and rekindled global hope for a long-term stable growth.<\/p>\n<p>In the next five years and beyond, China will enhance the level of opening-up, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and strengthen the comprehensive competitiveness of foreign trade.<\/p>\n<p>With new steps to be taken in reform and opening-up, China will further improve its socialist market economy and basically complete the building of a high-standard market system, and form the new institutions of a higher-level open economy.<\/p>\n<p>The new blueprint is the latest demonstration of China&#8217;s dedication to building an open economy over the years.<\/p>\n<p>From the Foreign Investment Law to a shortened negative list for foreign investment, from more pilot programs for promotion of trade in services to the steadily eased financial market access, China&#8217;s steps in pursuit of opening-up has never been stalled by mounting protectionism and unilateralism amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Commending China&#8217;s breakthroughs in improving business and investment environment, Anton Moskalenkov, director of the International Relations Office of Russia&#8217;s Agency for Strategic Initiatives, said China&#8217;s open market, with &#8220;growing consumer demand, emerging new areas of consumption, and rapid diversification of products,&#8221; is very appealing to every entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>To honor its opening-up commitment, China has rolled out such platforms as the Belt and Road Initiative, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the CIIE, whose third edition ran from Nov. 5 to 10, has grown into a major platform for international procurements, investment promotion, cultural exchanges and open cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the post-pandemic era, China has reiterated its commitment to deeper and larger reform and opening-up, as well as to the free trade system and multilateralism,&#8221; said Koh.<\/p>\n<p>China&#8217;s commitment to sharing its market and providing the world with quality products will &#8220;push forward economic integration&#8221; and &#8220;bring mutual benefits to China and the world,&#8221; said the expert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: In its latest Economic Outlook report, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) predicted that China will be the only major economy to record positive performance in 2020 with a 1.8-percent growth.
