LONDON, Aug. 29-- "In the current complex international environment, China's clear layout of future plans bring strong confidence to people at home and abroad who are concerned about China's development," a British university scholar said here. In a recent interview with Xinhua, professor Yu Xiong at the Surrey Business School in the University of Surrey, gave his analysis on the lastest signals delivered during a symposium on economic and social work held in Beijing earlier this week. Chairing the symposium, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed adopting a long-term perspective, grasping the trend of the times and extensively pooling wisdom to study new circumstances and make new plans. Noting the country's economic and social strategy for the mid-and-long term, Xiong said the plans are "thoughtful, wide-scope, and forward-looking...China has a firm and accurate grasp of the situation." China's new development pattern known as "dual circulation", which takes the domestic market as the mainstay while letting domestic and foreign markets boost each other, has been placed high on the authorities' agenda. Xiong said it suggests that China will boost economy relying on domestic demand while "developing collaborative, mutually beneficial and win-win relationship with other countries" amid rising protectionism and risks of globe supply chain disruption. Chair of Business Analytics and University Associate Dean International, Xiong spoke highly of the world's second largest economy's increasing engagement with technological innovation towards future development. |
