The founding of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949 was a significant milestone in the countrys history. Over the decades since then, China has undergone remarkable economic and social transformations, emerging as a key player on the global stage.With the PRCs inception, the nation embarked on a journey from weakness and poverty to rejuvenation. Resolutely advancing toward the realization of that aspiration, it has successfully achieved its goal of eradicating extreme poverty by 2020, and it has now embarked on the next stage of journey with the objective of becoming a modern socialist country in all respects.The achievements of the past decades since 1949 have not only significantly enhanced the livelihood of the Chinese people but also underscored the opportunities the countrys development offers the world with the launch of reform and opening-up in 1978. And the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, held from July 15 to 18, 2024, which is as significant as the third plenum of the 11th CPC Central Committee in 1978 and the third plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee in 2013, will profoundly further advance reform and opening-up.The transition from a primarily agrarian society to an industrial powerhouse has not only lifted about 800 million people out of poverty at home, but also helped alleviate poverty elsewhere in the world, with the nations contribution to the world economy having reshaped the global economic landscape and helping float the boats of many other economies. With its expansive market and manufacturing capabilities, China has become a focal point for global trade and investment, providing opportunities for businesses worldwide to access new markets and technologies.While some Western politicians and media view Chinas economic growth through ideological lens, it is important to note that despite facing some economic headwinds, Chinas current economic growth, though slower compared to its high-speed era, still maintains a strong momentum and it is more vigorous than many other economies, including several major developed countries. Moreover, the shift from quantity-driven growth to quality-driven growth is making its economic growth more sustainable and in so doing presenting new opportunities for emerging sectors and new collaboration opportunities for the global community.
