Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated on the 15th that the successful holding of events such as the Consumer Expo, Canton Fair, and China Development Forum demonstrates the determination and confidence of all parties to strengthen economic and trade cooperation and resist unilateralism and protectionism. China is a global market and an opportunity for all countries, injecting stability and positive energy into the world economy through high-quality development and high-level opening-up. At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: We noticed that the 5th Consumer Expo opened last weekend. Yesterday, the Hainan Free Trade Port Global Industry Investment Promotion Conference was successfully held. This morning, the 137th Canton Fair was also launched in Guangzhou. Some people believe that in the face of the current tariff and trade wars, China has held multiple events to once again demonstrate its determination to adhere to openness. What is the spokesperson's comment on this? I believe many friends at home and abroad have also paid attention to these activities Lin Jian said that this year's Consumer Expo attracted 65 Fortune 500 companies and leading enterprises to participate, with over 4100 participating brands, setting a new historical high. During the event, the Hainan Free Trade Port Global Industry Investment Conference signed 265 projects with a total signing amount of 233.6 billion yuan. The Canton Fair, which opened on the morning of the 15th, had nearly 73000 exhibition spaces for exports, and for the first time, the number of participating companies exceeded 30000. In addition, the recently held China Development Forum 2025 Annual Meeting also attracted 86 formal representatives from multinational corporations from 21 countries. The successful holding of these activities demonstrates the determination and confidence of all parties to strengthen economic and trade cooperation, resist unilateralism and protectionism. Lin Jian stated that China's opening door is getting bigger and bigger, which is a firm commitment for China to share development with the world. Since 2017, the negative list for foreign investment access in China has been reduced from 93 to 29, and restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector have been completely lifted. Last year, there were 59000 newly established foreign-invested enterprises in China, a year-on-year increase of 9.9%. According to the latest data released by the Chinese regulatory authorities, China's import and export of goods reached 10.3 trillion yuan in the first quarter of this year, with exports exceeding 6 trillion yuan, achieving a growth rate of 6.9%. China is a global market and an opportunity for all countries. In the face of external uncertainty, China will persist in "shaking hands" rather than "swinging fists", "breaking down walls" rather than "building fortifications", and "connecting" rather than "decoupling", "Lin Jian said." We will continue to expand our trade "circle of friends", strengthen our investment "gravity field", and inject stability and positive energy into the world economy with high-quality development and high-level opening-up
