Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang said on Thursday that the Chinese economy is growing steadily with a stronger outlook despite many difficulties and multiple challenges, thanks to its increasing capacity to drive growth through innovation.国务院副总理丁薛祥周四表示，尽管面临诸多困难和多重挑战，中国经济在创新动能持续增强的推动下，仍在稳步增长，前景更加光明。 He made the remarks in a keynote speech delivered at the opening of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025, which was held in Boao, Hainan province, with the theme "Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future".丁薛祥副总理在海南博鳌举行的博鳌亚洲论坛2025年年会开幕式上发表主旨演讲时作出上述表述。本届年会以"变局中的亚洲：携手共创未来"为主题。 Ding said that China's firm commitment to the innovation-driven development strategy has notably boosted its innovation capacity.丁薛祥强调，中国坚定不移实施创新驱动发展战略，科技创新能力实现显著提升。 "We will move faster toward greater self-reliance and strength in sophisticated science and technology, facilitate the integrated development of technological and industrial innovation, and foster and expand emerging and future industries, even as we transform and upgrade traditional industries," he said.他表示："我们将以更大力度推进高水平科技自立自强，促进科技创新与产业创新深度融合，在加快传统产业转型升级的同时，着力培育壮大新兴产业和未来产业。" "In my view, apart from the rapidly developing new energy vehicles, other sectors such as artificial intelligence, biomanufacturing, quantum technology and the low-altitude economy will also thrive in China. They will offer opportunities not only for China, but also Asia and the world," he added.“我认为，除了快速发展的新能源汽车，人工智能、生物制造、量子技术和低空经济等其他领域也将在中国蓬勃发展。它们不仅将为中国，也将为亚洲和世界带来机遇，"他补充道。 Ding expressed his optimism about the Chinese economy, saying that China is among the world's fastest-growing major economies.同时丁薛祥对中国经济发展前景表示乐观，认为中国仍是全球增长最快的主要经济体。 "In January and February, our economy got off to a steady start: The key indicators for industry, consumption and investment all grew faster than in 2024, continuing the upward momentum seen in the fourth quarter of last year," he said.丁薛祥援引最新数据指出："今年1月和2月的经济运行平稳起步，工业、消费、投资等主要指标增速均快于2024年同期，延续了去年四季度以来的上升势头。" Speaking about China's GDP growth target of around 5 percent this year, he said the target is based on rigorous projections and methodical planning, underpinned by the country's growth potential and favorable conditions, and supported by its robust policy measures.在谈到中国今年 5% 左右的 GDP 增长目标时，他说，这一目标是基于严谨的预测和有条不紊的规划，以中国的发展潜力和有利条件，以及中国强有力的政策措施为支撑。 "China is confident of realizing its goals and tasks for social and economic development, and it will contribute to the development of Asia and the world," he added.丁薛祥补充道："中国有信心实现全年经济社会发展目标任务，为亚洲和世界发展作出应有贡献。" Ding reiterated China's commitment to deepening reform and opening-up across the board, in order to deliver a more business-friendly environment.丁薛祥重申，中国致力于全面深化改革开放，以营造更加有利的营商环境。 "We will accelerate the implementation of landmark reform measures, better leverage the leading role of economic structural reform, and refine institutions and mechanisms to better support high-quality development," he said.他说："我们将加快实施具有里程碑意义的改革措施，更好地发挥经济结构性改革的引领作用，完善支持高质量发展的体制机制建设。 Noting that opening-up is a distinct hallmark of Chinese modernization, Ding said that no matter how the external environment changes, China will open wider to the world.丁薛祥特别指出，对外开放是中国式现代化的鲜明标识，"无论外部环境如何变化，中国开放的大门只会越开越大"。 While steadily expanding institutional opening-up and further improving market access for foreign investors, the country will expand voluntary and unilateral opening-up in a well-ordered way, he said.他表示，中国将在稳步扩大制度性开放、进一步改善外资市场准入的同时，有序推进自主开放和单边开放的进程。 "We warmly welcome businesses from all countries to invest and operate in China, join in the process of Chinese modernization and share in China's development opportunities," he added.他补充说：“我们热烈欢迎各国企业来华投资经营，参与中国现代化进程，共享中国发展机遇。” Lawrence Jin, leader of Deloitte Global Chinese Services Group, highlighted China's considerable progress in boosting innovation and the improvement in its business environment.德勤全球中国服务组负责人劳伦斯・金高度评价了中国在促进创新和改善营商环境方面取得的巨大进步。 "Over the past half a year, China's innovation has gained significant global recognition. I believe this will not only support the next wave of globalization for Chinese companies, but also, to a great extent, boost the confidence of multinational companies in further investing in China and participating in its innovation ecosystem," he said.他指出："过去半年间，中国创新成果获得了全球高度认可。我相信，这不仅将为中国企业下一波全球化浪潮提供支持，也将在很大程度上增强跨国公司进一步投资中国、参与中国创新生态系统的信心。" "Meanwhile, we are pleased to see continuous enhancements in the business environment for both private enterprises and foreign-invested companies. I firmly believe that this will be crucial in strengthening confidence," Jin added.金立群补充道："同时，我们也很高兴地看到，民营企业与外资企业的营商环境持续优化。我坚信，这将对提振市场信心具有决定性作用。" Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh, CEO of Saudi Basic Industries Corp, a petrochemicals manufacturer based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, said he is upbeat about China's economy and his company will continue to expand its presence in the country.位于沙特阿拉伯利雅得的石化产品制造商沙特基础工业公司首席执行官阿卜杜勒拉赫曼-法吉赫（Abdulrahman Al-Fageeh）表示，他对中国经济持乐观态度，他的公司将继续扩大在中国的业务。 "Speaking of economic development, there are few countries that can match China. Over the past years, China has accounted for more than 30 percent of the global GDP. All of its economic dynamism explains our success in the Chinese market for more than 40 years," he said.这位深耕中国市场四十余年的企业家表示："中国经济发展成就有目共睹，过去数年对全球经济增长贡献率超过30%。中国市场蓬勃的活力，正是我们取得长期成功的关键。" In his speech, Vice-Premier Ding called on Asian countries to work together to strengthen solidarity and cooperation through greater mutual trust, promote economic globalization through openness and integration, seek prosperity and development through mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and safeguard tranquility and stability through peaceful coexistence.丁薛祥副总理在演讲中向亚洲各国发出四点倡议：通过增进互信夯实合作根基，以开放包容推动经济全球化，以互利共赢谋求繁荣发展，以和合共生维护安宁稳定。 "We should make full use of regional cooperation mechanisms in East Asia and the Asia-Pacific region, push for high-quality implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, work toward the signing of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade Protocol and promote regional economic integration and connectivity," he said, calling for efforts to ensure that Asia continues to be a region of peace and stability.他说："我们应充分发挥东亚与亚太区域合作机制效能，推动《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》高质量实施，加快签署中国—东盟自贸区3.0版升级议定书，促进区域经济一体化与互联互通建设。" 并呼吁努力让亚洲继续成为和平与稳定的地区。Prime Minister of Laos Sonexay Siphandone highlighted the role of China in guiding regional and global cooperation, as mounting geopolitical tensions continue to have an extensive impact on global development.老挝总理宋赛·西潘敦（Sonexay Siphandone）在发言中强调，面对地缘政治紧张态势对全球发展的深远影响，中国始终发挥着区域与全球合作的关键引领作用。He said the development of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative in the past 10 years and more has proved that it is a bond for promoting mutual connectivity in Asia and Europe, as well as a boost for regional shared development and global progress.他说，中国提出的 “一带一路 ”倡议在过去十多年的发展证明，它已成为促进亚欧大陆互联互通的重要纽带，更是推动区域共同发展与全球进步的强力引擎。 drivev. 驱动boao Forum博鳌亚洲论坛innovation capacity创新能力the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade Protocol中国—东盟自贸区3.0版升级议定书key indicators主要指标the upward momentum上升势头reiteratev. 重申the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership区域全面经济伙伴关系

The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) is a nongovernmental and nonprofit international organization, a platform for dialogue among leaders from governments, businesses, and academic sectors across Asia and the world, addressing critical economic and social issues. We learn about this year's forum, taking place from March 25-28. On the show: Steve Hatherly, Niu Honglin & Yushan

Wall Street stocks took a tumble after Washington's latest tariff announcement on all imported cars (08:54). U.S. lawmakers have been questioning top officials in the Trump administration about the Signal app security leak scandal (18:09).

Asian economies, with real GDP growth projected to be 4.5 percent for 2025, will continue to play a crucial role in driving global economic stability and growth, said a report released on Tuesday at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025.周二在博鳌亚洲论坛2025年年会上发布的一份报告称，亚洲经济体2025年的实际GDP增长率预计将达到4.5%，将继续在推动全球经济稳定和增长方面发挥关键作用。The forum comes soon after the China Development Forum 2025, which ended on Monday, and gathered top government officials and business leaders from across the globe. Experts said the forums' key message is crystal clear, that Asia—spearheaded by China—is reinforcing its commitment to openness and stability, presenting a sharp contrast to the rising economic isolation featured by the United States'arbitrary sanctions and tariffs.此次论坛紧随周一闭幕的中国发展高层论坛2025年年会之后召开，汇集了来自世界各地的政府高官和商界领袖。专家表示，这两大论坛的关键信息非常明确，即以中国为首的亚洲正坚定推动开放和稳定，这与美国任意制裁和关税导致的经济孤立形成鲜明对比。The "Asian Economic Outlook and Integration Progress Annual Report 2025", which was released on Tuesday, forecast that the share of Asian economies' GDP in the world economy will rise from 36.1 percent in 2024 to 36.4 percent in 2025. In terms of purchasing power parity, a metric comparing economic productivity and standards of living between countries, Asia's share of the global economy is projected to rise from 48.1 percent to 48.6 percent this year.周二发布的《亚洲经济前景及一体化进程2025年度报告》预测，亚洲经济体GDP占世界经济的比重将从2024年的36.1%上升到2025年的36.4%。按照购买力平价（衡量各国经济生产率和生活水平的指标）计算，今年亚洲在全球经济中的比重预计将从48.1%上升到48.6%。Economies including China, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Mongolia, Cambodia and Indonesia are expected to maintain a high growth rate of over 5 percent this year, the report said.报告指出，中国、印度、越南、菲律宾、蒙古、柬埔寨和印度尼西亚等经济体今年有望保持5%以上的高增长率。Zhang Yuyan, a renowned economist and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "Such an economic performance means that Asia, as a key driver of the world economy, is set to benefit from global economic stabilization in 2025 and will also play a crucial role in contributing to this stability."著名经济学家、中国社会科学院学部委员张宇燕表示：“这样的经济表现意味着，作为全球经济的重要引擎，亚洲将在2025年受益于全球经济的稳定，并在其中发挥关键作用。”The report also said that despite economic uncertainties, including monetary policy shifts in major economies such as the US and the European Union, andgeopolitical tensions, most Asian stock markets are expected to maintain an upward trend this year.报告还指出，尽管面临包括美国和欧盟主要经济体货币政策调整及地缘政治紧张局势等不确定因素，但大多数亚洲股市今年预计仍将保持上行趋势。Amid such growth, China remains the region's most attractive destination for foreign investors. China's vibrant innovation in fields such as artificial intelligence, reflected by DeepSeek, has reinforced its status as asafe haven for entrepreneurship in a world where US sanctions pose increasing risks.在这样的增长态势下，中国依然是该地区最具吸引力的外资目的地。DeepSeek所反映的中国在人工智能等领域的蓬勃创新，巩固了其在美国制裁风险日益增加的世界中作为创业“避风港”的地位。Zhou Xiaochuan, a former governor of the People's Bank of China, said at the conference: "China is responding to global demands with responsibility and courage, continuing to provide stability and certainty to the world. As the year 2025 marks the conclusion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), China will further deepen comprehensive reforms and expand high-level opening-up.中国人民银行前行长周小川在会议上表示：“中国正以责任和勇气回应全球需求，持续为世界提供稳定性和确定性。是中国‘十四五'规划（2021—2025年）的收官之年，中国将进一步深化全面改革，扩大高水平对外开放。”"China will adopt a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately accommodative monetary policy, boost consumption, enhance investment efficiency and expand domestic demand across all sectors," he said.他说：“中国将采取更加积极的财政政策和适度宽松的货币政策，促进消费，提高投资效率，扩大各领域内需。”Notably, the report highlighted that the trade war, which was initiated by the US in 2018, has not improved the US' standing in global manufacturing value chains. Instead, the gap between China and the US in this sector has widened.值得注意的是，报告强调，美国自2018年发起的贸易战并未提升其在全球制造业价值链中的地位，反而加大了中美在该领域的差距。Global intermediate goods trade has become more dependent on China than on North America. In 2023, the dependency on China stood at 16 percent, compared with 15 percent for North America, the report said.全球中间产品贸易对中国的依赖程度已经超过对北美的依赖程度。报告指出，全球对中国的依赖度为16%，而对北美的依赖度为15%。Lin Guijun, former vice-president of the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said: "The latest US tariffs have an impact on all major trade partners, not just China. Other nations are reacting in a fragmented and weak manner, lacking coordinated responses."北京对外经济贸易大学原副校长林桂军表示：“美国最新的关税政策影响的不仅是中国，而是所有主要贸易伙伴。其他国家的反应零散而薄弱，缺乏协调一致的应对措施。”Zhang, from the CASS, said: "While international cooperation once aimed at mutual benefit, many nations have shifted toward azero-sum game, and with the US' new trade measures, the situation has now worsened to anegative-sum game, where countries accept their own losses as long as their rivals suffer even more."中国社会科学院的张宇燕表示：“国际合作本应以互惠共赢为目标，但许多国家如今正转向零和博弈。随着美国出台新的贸易措施，情况进一步恶化，演变成负和博弈——即各国宁愿自身受损，也要让竞争对手遭受更大损失。”"But the world needs a more open economy based on cooperation and shared prosperity. True success comes not just from personal gain but from lifting others up as well," he said.“但世界需要一个基于合作和共同繁荣的更加开放的经济。真正的成功不仅在于自身获益，还在于能够带动他人共同发展。”他说。With the theme of "Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future", the four-day event has attracted nearly 2,000 participants from more than 60 countries and regions, according to the forum's organizing committee.据论坛组委会介绍，本届论坛的主题为“变局中的亚洲：迈向共同未来 ”，为期四天，吸引了来自60多个国家和地区的近2000名与会者。。Claus Rettig, president of German specialty chemicals giant Evonik Asia Pacific, who is attending this year's forum, said: "We have unwavering confidence in China's growth. The Asia-Pacific region is one of Evonik's fastest-expanding markets, and China sits at its core with the largest market share.德国特种化学品巨头赢创亚太区总裁克劳斯·雷蒂格在本届论坛上表示：“我们对中国的增长前景充满信心。亚太地区是赢创增长最快的市场之一，而中国是其核心，拥有最大的市场份额。”"China is the world's top chemical market, backed by a robustinfrastructure and a deeply integrated supply chain," he added. "We see China's economic strength as a solid foundation for growth and remain committed to expanding our investment here."“作为全球最大的化工市场，中国拥有坚实的基础设施和高度一体化的供应链。”他补充道，“我们认为中国的经济实力是增长的坚实基础，并将继续扩大在华投资。”Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025.博鳌亚洲论坛2025年会spearheadv.带头sanctionsn.制裁tariffn.关税geopolitical tensions地缘政治紧张a safe haven避风港zero-sum game零和博弈negative-sum game负和博弈

英语新闻∣习近平主席倡导的全球治理观深刻启迪世界 With a global vision, President Xi Jinping has strategically steered the course of the giant ship of the nation in actively participating in and guiding the reform of global governance, to make the system fairer and more equitable amid the speedy evolution of the international landscape.习近平主席以全球视野，从战略上引领着中国这艘巨轮。积极参与和引领全球治理变革，推动国际格局快速演变，推动国际体系朝着更加公平合理的方向发展。 Over the past decade, Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, has proposed a number of initiatives on global governance as part of Chinese solutions to the mounting problems confronting humanity.在过去十年中，习近平主席提出了一系列全球治理倡议，为应对人类日益严重的问题提出中国方案。 Analyzing the drastic changes of the international situation in a keynote speech at the BRICS Business Forum in Johannesburg, South Africa, four years ago, Xi said that the next decade will see a profound reshaping of the global governance system.​2018年，国家主席习近平应邀出席在南非约翰内斯堡举行的金砖国家工商论坛。他表示，“未来10年，将是全球治理体系深刻重塑的10年。” "The international community has reached a new crossroads, and we are facing a choice between cooperation and confrontation, between opening-up and a closed-door policy, and between mutual benefit and a beggar-thy-neighbor approach," Xi said.习近平强调，“要合作还是要对立，要开放还是要封闭，要互利共赢还是要以邻为壑，国际社会再次来到何去何从的十字路口。” Thus, the evolution of the global governance system will have a profound impact on the development of all countries, particularly emerging markets and developing countries, and indeed on the prosperity and stability of the whole world, Xi said.习近平表示，全球治理体系的变革对所有国家的发展都有深远影响。“新兴市场国家和发展中国家群体性崛起势不可当，将使全球发展的版图更加全面均衡，使世界和平的基础更为坚实稳固。” Guo Shuyong, head of Shanghai International Studies University's School of International Relations and Public Affairs, said that the reform of the global governance system is at a historical juncture, as the world faces profound changes unseen in a century and is in a crucial period of new transformations.上海外国语大学国际关系与公共事务学院院长郭树勇表示，全球治理体系变革正处于百年未有之大变局的历史节点，世界正处于转型的关键时期。 Led by Xi, China has been actively involved in global governance reforms with an emphasis on upholding the international system with the United Nations at the core, demonstrating China's assumption of responsibility as a major country, and contributing to the nation's reform and development as well as world peace and development, Guo said.在习近平同志的领导下，中国积极参与全球治理改革，维护以联合国为核心的国际体系，体现了中国的大国担当，为国家改革发展和世界和平发展作出了贡献。 When delivering a keynote speech via video at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2021, Xi said that global governance should reflect the world's evolving political and economic landscape, conform to the historical trend of peace, development and win-win cooperation, and meet practical needs in addressing global challenges.习近平主席在博鳌亚洲论坛2021年年会开幕式上发表视频主旨演讲。他表示，全球治理应该符合变化了的世界政治经济格局，顺应和平发展合作共赢的历史趋势，满足应对全球性挑战的现实需要。 All countries should follow the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, uphold true multilateralism and make the global governance system fairer and more equitable, Xi said.所有国家应该秉持共商共建共享原则，坚持真正的多边主义，推动全球治理体系朝着更加公正合理的方向发展。 Former Belgian prime minister Yves Leterme said that Xi has time and again underlined the urgency and importance of strengthening multilateral cooperation in coping with global crises and challenges.​比利时前首相伊夫·莱特姆表示，中国国家主席习近平在不同场合反复强调加强多边合作的必要性和紧迫性。 China is playing an increasingly important and indispensable role in boosting global cooperation, especially in the context of rising protectionism and unilateralism, Leterme wrote in an article published by the People's Daily.莱特姆在《人民日报》的一篇文章中表示，作为多边主义的支持者和推动者，中国正在国际社会发挥越来越重要的作用，特别是在保护主义、单边主义抬头的背景下，中国为全球合作发挥了不可或缺的引领作用。 He emphasized the need to readjust the international cooperation framework, saying that countries around the world should jointly work for a fairer, more equitable, more inclusive and more efficient global governance system.他表示，当前，国际合作框架需要进一步调整，各方应共同寻求建立更加公平公正、更具包容性和效率的全球治理体系。 A community with a shared future for mankind that President Xi has been advocating for will help advance the building of such a new global governance system, he added.中国提出构建人类命运共同体理念，有助于推动建立这一新的全球治理体系。 Since Xi proposed in 2013 the Belt and Road Initiative, an international public good to advance the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, the platform for win-win cooperation for countries involved in the initiative has delivered substantial benefits to them. These include infrastructural connectivity, facilitated trade and investment, policy coordination, financing support and stronger people-to-people bonds.自2013年习近平主席提出共建“一带一路”倡议以来，“一带一路”倡议作为推动构建人类命运共同体的国际公共产品，为沿线国家提供了互利共赢的合作平台，带来了实实在在的利益。促进相关国家政策沟通、设施联通、贸易畅通、资金融通和民心相通。 By the end of March, 149 countries and 32 international organizations had signed cooperation documents with China on jointly building the Belt and Road. As of June, the volume of trade in goods between China and countries involved in the BRI amounted to around $12 trillion, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.截至2022年3月底，149个国家、32个国际组织同中国签署共建“一带一路”合作文件。根据国家发展和改革委员会的数据，截至今年6月，中国与“一带一路”沿线国家的货物贸易额约为12万亿美元。 As the global development process hit major roadblocks, Xi proposed the Global Development Initiative last year, calling for forging a united, equal, balanced and inclusive global development partnership. The initiative has won support from many countries.2021年，面对全球经济社会发展领域的严峻形势，习近平主席提出了全球发展倡议，呼吁建立团结、平等、平衡、包容的全球发展伙伴关系。这一倡议得到了许多国家的支持。 After the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, Xi put forward the Global Security Initiative in April, calling on all countries to stay committed to the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security. He urged the international community to reject zero-sum games and jointly oppose hegemony and power politics, and called for building a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation.今年4月份，俄乌冲突爆发后，习近平主席提出了全球安全倡议，呼吁世界各国坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观。全球安全倡议倡导国际社会强调摒弃零和思维，共同反对霸权主义和强权政治，推动构建相互尊重、公平正义、合作共赢的新型国际关系。 Joseph Matthews, a senior professor at BELTEI International University in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, said that the Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative are crucial to building a more equitable global governance system toward a community with a shared future for mankind.柬埔寨贝尔泰国际大学资深教授约瑟夫·马修斯表示，全球发展倡议和全球安全倡议对构建更加公平的全球治理体系、构建人类命运共同体至关重要。 "The two initiatives are also the key to reinforced multilateralism, international cooperation and solidarity in order to address global challenges and concerns. Both initiatives are public goods that China provides to the rest of the world in addition to the BRI," Matthews told Xinhua News Agency.马修斯在接受新华社采访时表示，“这两项倡议也是加强多边主义、国际合作和团结以应对全球挑战的关键。这两个倡议和‘一带一路'倡议一样，都是中国向世界提供的公共产品。” China has always played a leading role in safeguarding global peace and security, he said, and the Global Development Initiative will foster a new type of security to replace the confrontation, alliance and zero-sum approach with dialogue, partnership and win-win results.马修斯表示，中国一直在维护世界和平与安全方面发挥主导作用，全球发展倡议将推动构建一种新型安全，以对话取代对抗，以协商取代胁迫，以结伴取代结盟，以共赢取代零和。 steer英[stɪə(r)] 美[stɪr]vt.& vi. 驾驶; 操纵，控制; 引导 beggar-thy-neighbor以邻为壑政策 multilateralism英[ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm]美[ ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm] Roadblock英[ˈrəʊdblɒk]美[ˈroʊdblɑk]n. 路障; 障碍 hegemony英[hɪˈdʒeməni]美[hɪˈdʒemoʊni]n. 霸权；霸权主义

President Xi Jinping has called on the BRICS countries to inject stability and positivity into international relations in a period of turbulence and transformation.The five major developing countries are expected to firm up their beliefs, brave storms and waves, take real action to promote peace and development, uphold fairness and justice, and advocate democracy and freedom, he said.Xi made the remarks in a video address at the opening session of the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting on Thursday. The BRICS countries are Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.This year, China is the host nation of the annual BRICS Summit, and senior officials of the five countries have convened in recent months to prepare for the major event.Officials and experts said this year's summit is expected to boost unity and concerted actions among emerging markets and developing countries at a time when the world faces multiple challenges.In his video address, Xi noted that the impacts of major changes and a pandemic unseen in a century are being combined, and factors of instability, uncertainty and insecurity are increasing in the global situation.Peace and development remain the theme of the times, the aspiration of people across countries for a better life remains unchanged, and the historic mission for the international community to pursue solidarity and win-win cooperation remains unchanged, he said.Speaking on security, Xi mentioned the Global Security Initiative he put forward at the opening of the annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia around a month ago, and said that both history and reality tell us that seeking one's own security at the expense of others will only create new tensions and risks.BRICS countries need to strengthen political mutual trust and security cooperation, maintain close communication and coordination on major international and regional issues, accommodate the core interests of others and their major concerns, and respect the sovereignty, security and development interests of each other, he said.They also need to oppose hegemonism and power politics, reject a Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation, and work together to build a global community of security for all, according to Xi.Zhu Jiejin, a professor of global governance studies at Fudan University's School of International Relations and Public Affairs, said, "Considering the severe global economic downturn and challenges posed by the lingering Ukraine crisis, the upcoming BRICS Summit hosted by China is expected to inject more confidence into the world."In terms of development, Xi said that it is more important than ever for emerging markets and developing countries to strengthen solidarity and cooperation.He underlined the need for the five BRICS countries to engage in dialogue and exchanges with more emerging markets and for developing countries to increase mutual understanding and trust, strengthen cooperation, and deepen the convergence of interests.The goal is to make the pie of cooperation bigger and the force for progress stronger and contribute more to the lofty vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, he added."The world is closely tracking how BRICS nations will address and contribute to global security and development given the drastic changes in the international situation that have taken place since February," said Xu Xiujun, director of the International Political Economy Department of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of World Economics and Politics.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, sent a congratulatory message on Thursday to the BRICS Political Parties, Think Tanks and Civil Society Organizations Forum hosted by the International Department of the CPC Central Committee.Xi said that the global economic recovery remains fragile and sluggish, the development gap is widening, and the world is facing serious challenges in climate change and digital governance.China stands ready to work with other countries, including other BRICS members, to step up implementation of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and advance the Global Development Initiative to jointly build a community for global development, he said.记者：张陨壁 曹德胜

英语新闻︱Xi to make key speech at Boao Forum for AsiaPresident Xi Jinping will attend the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2022 via video link on Thursday and deliver a keynote speech, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying announced on Wednesday.It will be the sixth time Xi has delivered a keynote speech at the event, held in Boao, Hainan province.This year's forum opened on Wednesday with the publication of its annual report on the economic outlook for Asia and progress in integration.It said that Asia's economic growth this year is likely to be lower than the International Monetary Fund's forecast of 5.2 percent and higher than the predicted global output growth rate of 4.4 percent.The report said the Asian economy will remain in the process of recovery this year, and there will be moderate growth amid mounting pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, monetary policy adjustments in the United States and Europe, and rising commodity prices.Zhang Yuyan, director of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of World Economics and Politics, said on Wednesday that the Asian economy isprojected to sustain its recovery, and its annual growth rate may reach 4.8 percent this year, mainly aided by the growth of China's economy.Despite the resurgence in COVID-19 cases, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and rising commodity prices clouding Asia's economic outlook, East and South Asian economies, such as those in China, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and India, are estimated to see a faster pace of economic recovery than the global level, said Li Baodong, secretary-general of the Boao Forum for Asia.Asian economies will remain the ballast for the world economy and a "booster" for multilateral cooperation, Li added."With the recovery of the global economy, international trade and investment resumed their growth in 2021," the report said."Trade and investment in Asia achieved a bigger rebound in the year, and its share in global trade and investment further increased."Citing the IMF's（speak clearer please） calculation, the report said the weighted real GDP growth of Asian economies in 2021 was 6.3 percent, significantly higher than the negative 1.3 percent growth in 2020 and also higher than the global level. In addition, Asian economies' share of global GDP will continue to grow to（pay attention to the preposition, not”at”） 47.7 percent in 2022.The report said Asian economic integration will be accelerated by the coming into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, which is the world's largest trade agreement, involving 15 economies－all 10 members of ASEAN, as well as China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.In addition, it said that China and South Korea's applications to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership will accelerate regional economic integration in Asia, which will greatly boost the global economic recovery of trade and investment in the post-COVID-19 era.Fueled by continued liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, trade and investment in Asia are expected to maintain their growth momentum in 2022.In Asia, China is seen as a "stabilizer" in regional trade, contributing significantly to the recovery of the Asian economy, the report said.Sang Baichuan, an economics professor at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, highlighted China's faster-than-expected 4.8 percent year-on-year growth in the first quarter of 2022 despite a weakening in economic activities in March amid resurgent domestic COVID-19 cases, saying that this demonstrates the strongresilience of China's economy.However, he warned of the gap between first-quarter growth and China's annual growth target of around 5.5 percent for 2022, and called for measures to step up macroeconomic policy support.Themed "The World in COVID-19&Beyond: Working Together for Global Development and a Shared Future", the Boao Forum for Asia is expected to focus on international unity and global cooperation, with a key focus on post-pandemic development.project英 [ˈprɒdʒekl]；美 [ˈprɑːdʒekt]v.预计，推算resurgence英 [rɪˈsɜːdʒəns]；美 [rɪˈsɜːrdʒəns]n.复兴，复苏，再次兴起booster英[ˈbuːstə(r)]；美[ˈbuːstər]n.起促进或激励作用的事物resilience英 [rɪˈzɪliəns]；美 [rɪˈzɪliəns]n.恢复力，复原力，抗逆力，弹性

At the Boao Forum for Asia, which opened on April 20, China's President delivered an important speech. This speech can be said to be teaching the United States a good lesson on what is the responsibility of a major country.1.

John Burris, civil rights attorney, joins us to discuss the Derek Chauvin trial results. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd. The jury deliberated for approximately one day, and found Chauvin guilty of all charges levied against him. Dr. Emmit Riley, political scientist and assistant professor of Africana Studies at DePauw University, joins us to discuss the Derek Chauvin trial. The discussion revolves around the current and long-term social and legal impact of the guilty finding. Is this example of police personnel testifying against a fellow officer a harbinger of things to come, or an anomaly that only happens in the most egregious examples of police misconduct?Mark Sleboda, a Moscow-based international relations security analyst, joins us to discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin's address to the Federal Assembly. Putin's address focused principally on domestic issues, such as the coronavirus response and the prospects for subsequent economic recovery. However, he also urged other nations to refrain from crossing Russia's geopolitical "red lines." Nick Davies, peace activist and author of "Blood on Our Hands, the American Invasion of Iraq," joins us to discuss Chinese President Xi's recent speech. Speaking virtually at the "Boao Forum for Asia," Xi's remarks that "no nation should dictate global rules or interfere in the internal affairs of other nations," was clearly directed towards the United States.Gerald Horne, professor of history at the University of Houston, author, historian, and researcher, joins us to discuss the America First Caucus. A movement for a GOP-led "America First" caucus in Congress is flailing, as major pushback has occurred shortly after its manifesto was revealed. The document has the appearance of a cookie-cutter GOP policy platform with a sprinkle of Trump-style right-wing populism. Chris Hedges, author, speaker, and investigative journalist, joins us to discuss his latest article "The Unraveling of the American Empire." Hedges argues that the pattern of stumbling from one military debacle to another is a sign of a crumbling empire. He sees Afghanistan as "one in a string of catastrophic military blunders that herald the death of the American empire." Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss Israel's attempts to stop the US from returning to the Iran nuclear deal. Israel's recent moves have been brilliantly countered by Iran in a dangerous chess game that has left America's Middle East proxy with few options. Iran's latest move to enrich uranium at 60% in response to Israel's attack on their Natanz nuclear facility has made it more important for the US to return to the agreement.Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and co-founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, joins us to discuss Caitlin Johnston's latest article on the CIA's influence on the media.

The Boao Forum for Asia opened on Sunday in the town of Boao in southern China's Hainan Province. The forum's annual report says the Asian economy is projected to show a strong rebound this year after falling into a severe recession in 2020.

Despite being hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, Asia's economies have recovered well compared to the rest of the world. However, challenges remain in maintaining sustainable development, according to two reports released by the Boao Forum for Asia. In 2020, the economic growth of Asian economies dropped 1.7 percent. But the Asian economy will experience recovery this year, with a growth rate of more than 6.5 percent. The report attributed the relatively high growth rate to effective epidemic control and production resumption in China and South Korea, among other factors. The digital economy has also helped promote production resumption, stabilized the economic situation, and become a new driving force.

The Boao Forum for Asia has released two reports on the outlook of Asian economies and sustainable development.

Trade war fears were slightly eased yesterday, after US President Donald Trump thanked Chinese leader Xi Jinping, for his "kind words" from his speech at the Boao Forum where he commited to an open China and lowering tariffs on US car exports. In the Hot Seat, James Cheo, Senior Investment Strategist, Bank of Singapore talks game theories and trade conflict history with MONEY FM 89.3's Elliott Danker and Yasmin Jonkers.

At a closely-watched keynote speech at the the Boao Forum for Asia, Chinese President Xi Jinping said China will significantly lower import tariffs for vehicles and reduce import tariffs for some other products this year. But he also warned against returning to a “Cold War mentality” amid trade disputes with US President Donald Trump. Tommy Xie, economist and Head of Greater China Research at OCBC Bank, weighs in on the impact of China's recent moves in trade policy.

It’s going to be an interesting week, if last Friday was any measure. Last week ended with the markets going haywire as China and the US exchanged tit-for-tat threats of new tariffs. This week seems to be … not really better, but at least they’re no longer actively threatening to cause each other pain. This may just be the calm before the storm however. China’s media machine seems to be pumping itself up for the Boao Forum, a Chinese economic summit similar to Davos. Chinese President Xi Jinping will take centre stage at the forum. Will he take the opportunity to strike back at US President Donald Trump and his punitive tariffs? Trump for his part is - still – tweeting. Here in Dubai we will have the Annual Investment Meeting, where top delegates will be talking about investment and protectionism. Notice a pattern here?
