Jointly safeguard the security and stability of the global industrial chain supply chain.
At present, the changes in the past century have accelerated the evolution, and the recovery of the world economy has been hindered and long. What is the development prospect of the global industrial chain supply chain? How can countries strengthen cooperation and jointly safeguard the security and stability of the global industrial chain supply chain? On March 28th, at the sub-forum of "New Pattern of Industrial Chain and Supply Chain" held during the 2023 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia, experts, scholars and business leaders from home and abroad got together to talk about development, and "unity and cooperation" and "openness and tolerance" became high-frequency words.
"No matter the COVID-19 epidemic, geopolitical conflicts, the downturn of the world economy and global warming, any challenge is related to the present and the future. Faced with these challenges, the voice of the international community for strengthening cooperation and promoting development is even louder and the desire is even stronger. " Li Baodong, Secretary General of Boao Forum for Asia, said at the press conference of the annual meeting.
"As far as we are concerned, whether it is resource investment or profit income, there is a considerable proportion and co-construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ Closely related. " Feng Bo, deputy general manager of China Ocean Shipping Group, said, "Thanks to open cooperation, we have made great progress in the process of international development."
In Feng Bo’s view, globalization is characterized by mutual integration and common destiny. In addition to sharing achievements, it is also necessary to share responsibilities. "In response to climate change, all countries and enterprises have the responsibility to meet the requirements of carbon reduction, environmental protection and green. Green and low-carbon transformation will breed new markets such as clean energy and promote the iterative upgrading of the industrial chain supply chain. "
Liang Weite, Chairman of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Construction Macau Committee of Boao Forum for Asia, said: "Building together ‘ Belt and Road ’ Driven by this, we have built a lot of infrastructure, and we also pay attention to making friends and sharing development achievements. "
The 2023 Annual Report on Asian Economic Prospects and Integration Process released during the 2023 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia pointed out that China maintains a dominant position in the trade of intermediate products in Asia. Among the 22 kinds of intermediate products with the largest transaction volume, China has 20 kinds in the leading position. Asian economies are playing an irreplaceable role in the global value chain, and the process of regional production, trade, investment integration and financial integration will be accelerated.
Bei Zhemin, managing partner of Oliver Wyman Consulting, said that China plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain. In recent years, China’s industrial structure has been accelerated, and China’s manufacturing has strong competitiveness, and it is shifting to the middle and high end of the industrial chain.
Yao Yang, president of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, believes that China has huge market scale and complete industrial chain advantages, and will continue to become the manufacturing center of the world.
China’s super-large-scale market has released a strong "magnet effect", which continues to attract foreign investors to increase their investment in China market. Ferry, head of Asia-Pacific region of Fen Cantieny Group, said: "The huge potential of China market is something we can’t ignore."
The stable operation of industrial chain supply chain is the key to smooth economic cycle. At present, the global industrial chain supply chain is being deeply reshaped, and transnational investment is becoming nearshore, localized and regionalized, which makes the industrial chain supply chain shorter and more flexible.
"In the global industrial chain supply chain, everyone is closely linked, and no one can be immune to it. All countries need to cooperate to solve the problems they face." Feng Bo believes that from the perspective of enterprises, it is necessary to adopt a development mode of integration and cooperation to make the supply chain more resilient and sustainable.
Practice the concept of mutual respect, win-win cooperation, and take practical actions to make development achievements better benefit people of all countries, which has become the common aspiration of experts, scholars and business leaders attending the meeting.
Li Baodong expressed the hope that through the discussion at the annual meeting, we can explore certainty in an uncertain world, promote solidarity and cooperation among all countries in the world, adhere to openness and tolerance, and better promote development.
