中国的发展，世界的机遇

（中国驻斯里兰卡大使戚振宏）

日前，中国国家统计局发布前三季度经济数据非常亮丽，国内生产总值823131亿元，同比增长9.8%，两年平均增长5.2%。在全球疫情持续蔓延背景下，中国经济拾级而上、优化升级，表现出非凡的抗压韧性，帮助稳定和修复全球供应链，为充满不确定性的世界经济注入了宝贵信心和动力。突出表现在：

一是居民消费价格指数处于较低水平。前三季度，CPI同比上涨0.6%。居民生活相关商品价格稳中有降，食品价格同比下降1.6%。二是就业形势总体稳定。前三季度，城镇新增就业1045万人，完成全年目标的95.0%，城镇调查失业率平均为5.2%。三是产业发展稳中有进。全国夏粮和早稻合计比上年增产73.8亿斤，秋粮播种面积增加。高技术制造业增加值同比增长20.1%，两年平均增长12.8%。四是外贸外资较快增长。前三季度，货物贸易进出口同比增长22.7%，贸易顺差扩大，结构持续优化。利用外资持续增加，1-8月实际使用外资增长22.3%。外汇储备保持稳定，连续5个月保持在3.2万亿美元以上。五是国内需求持续恢复。制造业投资两年平均增长3.3%，民间投资两年平均增长3.7%。居民人均可支配收入实际增长9.7%，与经济增长基本同步。六是创新创业势头良好。世界知识产权组织发布的全球创新指数排名，中国升至第12位。市场主体快速增加，总量接近1.5亿户，活跃度总体稳定在70%左右。七是企业发展活力释放。中小微企业生产较快增长，1-8月规模以上中型、小微型工业企业增加值分别增长16.3%、14.1%。企业盈利能力增强，1-8月规模以上工业企业利润总额两年平均增长19.5%。八是综合融资成本稳中有降。1-8月，企业贷款利率4.63%，同比下降0.13%。

毋庸讳言，中国经济也面临一些问题和挑战，如经济发展不平衡不充分、制约投资和消费需求的因素仍然较多、就业的结构性矛盾凸显、全球疫情充满变数、国际大宗商品价格高位运行等。但瑕不掩瑜，中国正努力构建以国内大循环为主体、国内国际双循环相互促进的新发展格局，中国经济稳中向好、长期向好的基本面没有变，具体体现在：主要宏观指标保持在合理区间，经济恢复态势持续；经济结构调整优化，发展质量效益提升；改革开放深入推进，发展动能持续增强；居民收入持续增长，民生保障有力有效。

我们高兴地看到，面对疫情，中斯风雨同舟、守望相助。斯经济今年上半年实现了8%正增长，中斯贸易、投资、金融等领域合作也取得了丰硕成果，前三季度，双边货物贸易总额同比增加54.7%，其中斯对华出口大幅增加111.2%，汉班托塔港综合开发和科伦坡港口城等合作项目成为斯吸引外资的磁石。未来，中方期待与斯方携手，共同战胜疫情，推动各领域务实合作不断实现新突破；中方也愿与世界各国共享发展机遇、共绘发展蓝图，实现更大更好发展。

China’s Development, World’s Opportunity

The economic data for the first three quarters of 2021 released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics was very eye-catching: the gross domestic product (GDP) reached 82.31 trillion yuan, up by 9.8% over the same period of last year at comparable prices, with an average two-year growth of 5.2%. Despite the continuous impact of COVID-19 worldwide, China’s economy was growing steadily. Its optimized and upgraded economy showed extraordinary resilience to pressure, contributed significantly to the stabilization and restoration of the global supply chain, and injected much-needed confidence and impetus into the current world economy with uncertainty, which was highlighted by:

First, the consumer price index (CPI) was at a relatively low level (up by 0.6% year on year). Prices of daily necessities were stable with a slight decline and food prices have dropped by 1.6%. Second, employment was generally stable. 10.45 million new jobs were created in urban areas, achieving 95% of this year’s target; surveyed urban unemployment rate was 5.2%. Third, steady progress was witnessed in the development of industries. The total output of summer grain and early rice increased by 3.69 million tons compared to last year and the sown area for autumn grain also expanded. The value added of high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 20.1% year on year with an average two-year growth of 12.8%. Fourth, foreign trade and investment grew rapidly. The trade value of goods increased by 22.7% year on year in the first three quarters, with widened trade surplus and optimized trade structure. Paid-in foreign investment continued to increase (up by 22.3% for the first eight months) and foreign exchange reserves remained stable, maintaining above USD 3.2 trillion for five consecutive months. Fifth, there was sustained recovery of domestic demand. Investment in the manufacturing industry and private investment achieved average two-year growth of 3.3% and 3.7% respectively. The per capita disposable income rose by 9.7% year on year, basically in line with GDP growth. Sixth, innovation and entrepreneurship gained sound momentum. China has moved up and ranks the 12th in WIPO’s “Global Innovation Index 2021”. Market entities have increased rapidly, with a total number of nearly 150 million and the overall level of activity around 70%. Seventh, the development vitality of enterprises was stimulated. For the first eight months, the value added of medium-sized industrial enterprises and micro and small ones above designated size increased by 16.3% and 14.1% year on year respectively and the total profit of industrial enterprises above designated size recorded an average two-year growth of 19.5%. Eighth, financing cost in general has been steadily decreasing. From January to August, corporate loan interest rate was 4.63%, down by 0.13% over the same period of last year.

Admittedly, the Chinese economy is also faced with some challenges, including the unbalanced and inadequate development, factors restricting investment and consumer demand, structural contradiction of employment, uncertainty caused by the Pandemic situation globally, and international commodity prices running high, etc.. Nevertheless, one flaw cannot obscure the splendor of the jade. China is striving to build a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the mainstay and the domestic and international cycles reinforcing each other. The economic fundamentals that will sustain stable and long-term growth remain unchanged: major macro indicators have stayed within a reasonable range and the national economy maintains the trend of recovery; the economic structure has been adjusted and optimized and the quality and efficiency of development are improved; the deepening of reform and opening-up is advancing and economic development is getting stronger momentum; residents’ income continues to grow and people’s livelihood gets powerful and effective support.

I’m delighted to see that China and Sri Lanka have been standing together and helping each other in fighting against the Pandemic. Sri Lanka’s GDP achieved growth of 8% in the first half of this year; our two countries’ cooperation in areas of trade, investment, finance, etc. also bore fruitful results, with the value of bilateral trade in goods up by 54.7% year on year for the first three quarters, of which Sri Lanka’s export to China up by 111.2%, and major cooperation projects especially the Hambantota Port and Port City Colombo becoming new magnets to attract foreign investment. China looks forward to joining hands with Sri Lanka in defeating the Pandemic and promoting bilateral pragmatic cooperation to achieve new breakthroughs in the days to come; China is also willing to share development opportunities and draw up a blueprint for development with countries around the world to achieve greater and better development.
