At the opening ceremony of the Second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, President Xi Jinping announced in his keynote speech that China would take a series of major reform and opening-up measures and make stronger institutional and structural moves to boost a new round of higher quality opening-up. His speech disclosed in advance the basic framework of China’s future trade agreement. Those unexpected moves involve many “institutional and structural arrangements”, which are collectively called “a series of major reform and opening-up measures”, accompanied with a binding supervision and implementation mechanism for both parties. How will these “major reform and opening-up measures” affect China’s economy? How should we implement them effectively? Professor Liu Zhibiao, Dean of Yangtze IDEI, Nanjing University, held professional and in-depth discussions with experts and scholars on these issues.
