China's development model belongs to the world
As globalization goes deeper, economic and trade ties between China and most other countries in the world have seen rapid growth. In this new era of high interconnectivity and win-win cooperation, China has learned from the development experience of countries worldwide with a humble attitude and honest diligence to form its unique “socialism with Chinese characteristics” development model. In this process, China borrowed experience from the world's most developed countries and set foot on a development path that was suited to its own situation. This model has powered the economic take-off and soaring growth of China.
In testing time, Beijing must resolutely pursue reform and opening-up at own pace

Economy better served by reform than macro controls

China's reform experience aids developing economies
This year is the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up. When this process started in late 1978, China was one of the poorest countries in the world.

No any other country or region in human history has kept up such a high speed of economic growth for such a long time.

Belt and Road mirrors China's enterprising spirit behind reform and opening-up
The Belt and Road initiative can be seen as a transition of China's 40 years of opening-up into the overseas arena.

B&R offers room for further China-UK cooperation

The 48 Group Club celebrated the 10th Anniversary of “The 48 Group Club Young Icebreakers” on June 5 in London. The “young icebreakers” is a network for young UK-China business leaders, acting as a bridge between China and the UK.

Against this backdrop, the 10th Lujiazui Forum 2018 will be held in Shanghai on June 14 and 15 with the theme of “Shanghai's development toward an international financial center in the new era.” Global Times London Correspondent Sun Wei (GT) interviewed Catherine McGuinness (McGuinness), chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee under the City of London Corporation, before her trip to Shanghai to attend the Lujiazui Forum. The two of them discussed China's opening-up and the City of London's role in the B&R initiative.

Opening-up China's future growth path
The community with shared future for mankind is a goal of China to lead the world forward into the future. The Belt and Road initiative is one of the paths toward it.

After Beijing's new measures were announced at Tuesday's forum, the world should have gained a better understanding of China.
Opening-up key for global economic growth
