China Media Group (CMG) hosted a forum in New York on Monday, featuring nearly 100 guests from American think tanks, business, and academic circles for in-depth exchanges on global opportunities arising from China's deepening reform and modernization.
Themed "Global Opportunities in Deepening China's Reform in the New Era," the event was held to share insights on the just-concluded Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Beijing.
Guests unanimously agreed that the third plenary session will make strategic deployment on deepening reform further across the board and advancing Chinese modernization, while bringing greater certainty to a world fraught with turbulence and change.
"China's economy is getting close to 20 percent of the world GDP, so anything that happens in China economically affects the world. China has made a very big effort to engage with the world through various initiatives, the Belt and Road Initiative is the most well-known, dealing with building infrastructure, then the Global Development Initiative, which builds upon that and brings benefit to lots of developing countries in areas of education, healthcare," said Robert Lawrence Kuhn, chairman of the Kuhn Foundation.
"If we are to become again a major industrial power, and most of the people in the country would like that to happen, it can only be done in cooperation with China, which right now is the motor for the world economy. And I think that's important, to get the message out of what happened at the third plenary (session) to the American people. I think is very important not only for China, but it's also important for America," said William Jones, former Washington Bureau chief of U.S. news magazine Executive Intelligence Review.
On Tuesday, reports on the dialogue in New York have been widely reposted by over 1,500 mainstream media outlets from 72 countries and regions worldwide, including the U.S., Britain, Italy, Germany, Spain, Japan, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and India.
In the near future, the event will continue to be held in various countries across Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Eurasia.
