On November 5th, at the opening ceremony of the first China International Import Expo in Shanghai, President Xi Jinping pointed out in his keynote speech that: “Chinese economy is not a pond, but an ocean. The ocean may have its calm days, but big winds and storms are only to be expected. Without them, the ocean wouldn’t be what it is. Big winds and storms may upset a pond, but never an ocean. Having experienced numerous winds and storms, the ocean will still be there! It is the same for China.” This kind of passion like a poet and thinking like a philosopher caused bursts of applause. China’s open, inclusive and confident image quickly spread around the world.When talking about Sino-US relations, General Secretary Xi said that "the Pacific Ocean is big enough to accommodate the development of China and the United States." When we hold the Expo currently, we are announcing to the world that globalization has been temporarily frustrated and unilateralism has been pursued by some people, but we Chinese will unswervingly go on the road of reform and opening up in accordance with the established direction.
