According to reports from Xinhua and other major media platforms, the high-profile event has become a crucial platform for discussing pressing global economic issues and fostering international cooperation.

A key highlight of this year’s forum was the release of several significant reports, including the ‘Export China Capacity Development Report’, which aims to better connect the distinct advantages of various nations with the specific demands of the Chinese market. Additionally, the Chinese version of the ‘2026 World Trade Report’ was officially launched in Shanghai, providing deep insights into current global trade trends and multilateral cooperation.

Economic experts and Nobel laureates attending the event, such as Nobel Prize-winning economist Christopher Pissarides, shared their perspectives on the trajectory of the Chinese economy. Pissarides noted that the Chinese economy is currently moving in the right direction, demonstrating resilience and adaptability amid a complex global economic environment.

Furthermore, the release of the ‘World Openness Report 2026’ at the Hongqiao Forum revealed notable findings regarding China’s ongoing commitment to globalization. The report indicated that China’s relative ranking in global openness has risen against the prevailing adverse trends, reflecting its continuous efforts to promote high-standard opening up and engage deeply with the international community.
