Heated Debate over New Strategies for Opening Up
Debating Strategies for the New Opening Up
Content Summary The primary content of Debating Strategies for the New Opening Up, the third volume in the "Chinese Economic and Social Development Think Tank Series," is a collection of articles and relevant materials by experts and scholars advocating various policy positions, compiled from the achievements of this forum. Edited by Cheng Enfu, Debating Strategies for the New Opening Up is organized into three sections—Side A, Side B, and Side C—which respectively compile representative viewpoints selected from the forum’s papers, supportive or similar scholarly perspectives published in public journals over the past year or two, and other propositions and policy opinions carried in relevant periodicals and media. Among these: the viewpoints of Side A primarily consist of reflections, analyses, and suggestions regarding China's outlook on opening up to the outside world, advocating for the establishment of a new outlook on opening up and the implementation of new strategies and policies for opening up. The viewpoints of Side B tend primarily toward making timely adjustments to China’s strategy for opening up and related policies. The viewpoints of Side C maintain that it is currently difficult for China to transform its policy of opening up to the outside world, or tend toward maintaining China’s existing opening-up strategy, foreign-related systems, and policies regarding foreign investment and foreign exchange. The debate among these three parties reflects different reflections and respective propositions regarding China’s opening-up policy. Additionally, some relevant trends and commentaries regarding China’s external economic development are included in the book for the benefit of the reader.
