BEIJING, Oct. 31-- China's resolve to pursue high-quality development and greater reform and opening-up was underpinned at a number of recent summits, conferences and other events it hosted since October. Chinese President Xi Jinping has paid high attention to these events. From Oct. 11 to 29, Xi has sent a total of 17 congratulatory letters in 19 days. HIGH-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT In these letters, "development" was a frequently used word. China has adopted the vision of innovative, coordinated, green and open development that is for everyone, boosted its economy for high-quality development and fully implemented the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, said Xi in a congratulatory letter to the first sustainable development forum that opened last Thursday. Amid mounting downward pressure, China's economy has shown sufficient resilience and great potential. The country's GDP expanded 6.2 percent year on year in the first three quarters of 2019 to about 69.78 trillion yuan (about 9.89 trillion U.S. dollars), according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). In a congratulatory letter to the 2019 China International Digital Economy Expo that opened on Oct. 11, Xi also stressed that China has paid close attention to the development of the digital economy, accelerated digital industrialization and industry digitalization and pushed forward deep integration of the digital economy and real economy to promote high-quality economic development. |
