Since this year, in the face of severe and complex international situation and arduous and heavy economic development tasks, my country's economy has shown a positive trend, once again demonstrating the strong resilience and potential of China's economy. At the same time, we must also be clear-headed that the foundation for my country's continued recovery and improvement of the economy needs to be further consolidated and the impact of external shocks is increasing. In the face of new situations and new challenges, how to actively and effectively respond to difficulties and challenges, further strengthen the development confidence of all parties, and continuously stabilize the foundation for the continuous recovery of the economy?

■Faced with the countercurrent, faced difficulties and actively expanded diversified markets

Relay promotion activities one after another, building a bridge to embrace the domestic market for many foreign trade products. Taking both internal and external factors into account and opening up two major cycles is a wise approach to hedging external risks, and it is also a necessary path to building an independent and controllable supply system.

Today's China has a population of more than 1.4 billion and a middle-income group of over 400 million. The huge domestic market is an important rear and has broad development space.

In the face of changes in the international trade situation, e-commerce platforms have accelerated their actions to help foreign trade enterprises switch to domestic sales, expand sales channels, and improve supporting services.

■Unswervingly doing your own thing is the best response

In the face of difficulties and challenges, unswervingly doing your own thing is the best response. More and more foreign trade companies have expressed that they should respond to the "everything" of the market with the "independent changes" of enterprises.

In the production workshop of a medical protective products company in Zibo, Shandong, machines are roaring, and the production line is rushing at full speed to catch orders. While actively expanding the market, the company has also continuously enriched its product line through cross-border mergers and acquisitions, building a cross-border platform for high-end medical devices, etc.

A batch of container "plant factories" in a Shouguang, Shandong Province are about to be shipped to the Middle East. This "plant factory" adopts closed management, and can achieve automated management and cultivation by scientifically setting planting conditions such as temperature and humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, etc.

In order to better adapt to international market demand, the company continues to innovate in hardware. The curved steel beams independently developed can increase the greenhouse wind resistance level to level 12, making it very popular in windy areas in Central Asia.

■Unswervingly expand high-level opening up to the outside world and inject more stability into the global economy

China is embracing the world with a more proactive and open attitude. From the continuous "slimming" of the negative list of foreign investment access to continuous optimization of the business environment, from expanding the global high-standard free trade zone network to the comprehensive relaxation and optimization of transit visa-free policies, these measures all show that China is the world's market and the opportunity of various countries, and China's door to opening up will only open wider and wider.

Recently, the 15th China Dongguang Carton Packaging Machinery International Expo was held in Dongguang County, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. Merchants from 50 countries and regions including Russia and Egypt gathered in the exhibition to focus on innovative achievements in smart equipment and share new opportunities for industrial upgrading.

Many foreign-funded enterprises regard opening up the Chinese market as an important strategic choice. Data shows that in 2024, China established 59,000 new foreign-invested enterprises, an increase of 9.9% year-on-year.

Ali Haji Fraj, global senior vice president of Schneider Electric Group, said in an interview recently that the Chinese market has shown amazing innovation vitality and sustainable development potential, and Schneider Electric is full of confidence in the Chinese market.
