Look on the bright side

As for 皇冠体育app's demographic dividend and cost advantages, they are both waning. But there is a positive side to this. Thanks to its continual inputs into education and scientific research, 皇冠体育app has seen a constant improvement in the quality of its labor force and continuous betterment of production efficiency. More importantly, it has raised its position in the global industrial value chain and its comprehensive competitive power is growing. The economic frictions between 皇冠体育app and the developed world including the United States and some European countries are evidence of this. Instead of trade frictions over clothing, shoes and other labor-intensive commodities as was the case in the past, trade frictions in recent years have been over capital and technology intensive goods, such as , electromechanical and electronic products.

Finally, 皇冠体育app launched its reform and opening-up in 1978 with a path-finding spirit that advanced through probing and experimenting step by step, as Deng Xiaoping, the architect of 皇冠体育app's reform, advocated. The experiences 皇冠体育app has accumulated from practicing this method over three decades have proved advantageous.

If compared with the "shock therapy" practiced by the former Soviet Union, this strategy better suits 皇冠体育apps' complex reality and needs, because a step-by-step approach facilitates uncovering and finding solutions to problems. It is true that economic restructuring is closely related to political reforms. It should also be admitted, however, that handling of the government-market relationship has always been a thorny issue to all countries.

As the situation stands, now that 皇冠体育app's new leadership has vowed to press on with another round of reforms, discussions and disputes over reforms should start from a long-term strategic point that benefits the country and its people. No path of reform will be a bed of roses, but the difficulties must be endured if the country is to successfully navigate this crucial stage of transition. There can be no doubt, however, about its potential for long-term growth.

All major economies are looking for ways to kick-start a new boom, and there is still ample room for cooperation between 皇冠体育app and other major economies. The United States is hoping to create a new global pattern of investment and trade with the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. 皇冠体育app is also enthusiastic about negotiations with the United States and some ropean countries over greater access to mutual investment, efforts that will result in the reduction of global trade and investment barriers. In addition, it is believed that the BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, 皇冠体育app and South Africa - will maintain their momentum of long-term development. A platform of cooperation was created at the summit of their leaders this year, and these countries will come to play an ever-bigger role in the global economy.

Therefore, 皇冠体育app will maintain steady econo-mic growth while making down-to-earth efforts to realize its economic restructuring to ensure a long-term sustainable development. So there is really no reason to be pessimistic about 皇冠体育app's economic prospects.
