Liu Jun, correspondent of Guangming Daily in Brussels
It’s been a month since The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, but the discussion on the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has never stopped. The reporter interviewed some EU officials, think tank experts and scholars on different occasions, and they all praised the significance of the 19th National Congress to the future of China and the world, expecting China to inject new vitality into the world development after the 19th National Congress.
Do not forget your initiative mind, the Communist Party of China (CPC)
De Fuan, an expert on Asian issues in Madriaga, an EU think tank, said that China people have high expectations for the new leadership, but China already belongs not only to China people, but also to the world, especially when some big countries are closing their doors. China has already integrated into the world and become the "locomotive of the world". China, led by the Supreme Leader, will contribute to the global economy, ecological balance and peaceful development. Countries all over the world place different expectations on China and expect China to lead the world in development. This puts higher demands on China, requiring China to maintain internal balance and harmony and ensure the smooth progress of reform and opening up.
De Fuan said that the position of the supreme leader is very unique. He shoulders the responsibility of leading more than 1.3 billion China people, which is already a rather arduous task, and he has to respond to the great influence of China’s policies around the world, which is a new responsibility entrusted to China by the world. The development of the world has entered a new period, and China has never been closer to the center of the world stage, which poses a challenge to China and is an opportunity given to China by history.

De Fuan, who has visited China for dozens of times, admires the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s anti-corruption campaign. He believes that fighting tigers and flies together is a radical job, which can not only eliminate corruption, but also prevent corruption and ensure the continuation of reform and opening up. In the history of China, the government has a direct responsibility to the society and people. With the deepening of reform, the Communist Party of China (CPC) traced its roots to Do not forget your initiative mind. The 19th National Congress opened the way for China to deepen reform.
De Fuan believes that the biggest challenge facing China’s economy is how to transfer the wealth of coastal areas to the central and western regions to achieve common prosperity. 80% of the world’s wealth is realized within a diameter of 100 kilometers from the coast. To achieve common prosperity, China must develop the western region, but economic development has always favored coastal areas, which requires a strong and fair central government to make overall planning and coordination. This is also one of the purposes of the Belt and Road Initiative, which is to establish a "land coast" in the western region of China. Europe should show the sincerity of cooperation, work with China to realize the policy docking of "One Belt, One Road" construction from the east and the west, and maximize mutual benefit and win-win results.
China keeps injecting vitality into the world.
The European Institute in Bruges, Belgium, is known as the cradle of cultivating European politicians and a famous institution that transports cadres to the EU. In order to strengthen cooperation with China, the College established the Europe-China Research Center a few years ago, and the only Chinese female professor in the College, Door Jing, was appointed as the director of the Center. In the spring of 2014, during his visit to the European Union, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the European Academy, and took the bridge in Bruges, a "water city", as an example, emphasizing the joint construction of four bridges of peace, growth, reform and civilization, which played an important role in promoting mutual understanding between Chinese and European people and strengthening bilateral pragmatic cooperation.
Door mirror told reporters that in the past five years, China has played an increasingly important role in many international fields. While the United States, one of the world’s largest carbon emitters, is holding back, China has taken many practical measures in the field of climate change, played an important leading role, and reflected China’s responsibility. China’s economy has maintained a stable and coordinated growth, not only emphasizing GDP, but also implementing the achievements of reform and opening up. China has continuously injected vitality into the world, the Belt and Road Initiative has been steadily promoted, and the AIIB has attracted major countries in the world to join. A noteworthy phenomenon is that the balance of power between the EU and China is also changing quietly. At present, the overall recovery of the EU economy is weak, and Brexit has also exerted great centrifugal force on the internal unity of the EU. The EU needs to develop its relations with China with a pragmatic attitude and move forward hand in hand. China and Europe have deepened mutual understanding by holding various seminars, cooperation forums and exchanging visits in the fields of education, science and technology, culture and art.
EU-China cooperation has broad prospects.
Eric Filipa, special adviser of "2018 China-Europe Tourism Year", said in an interview that the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out the direction for the future development of China. In the new era, China people not only put forward higher requirements for material and cultural life, but also have higher requirements for democracy, rule of law, fairness, justice, security and environment. The people of China not only cherish peace, stability and security, but will also do their utmost to maintain and defend them. China will be a reliable, reliable and predictable force for peace in the future. China will adhere to the basic national policy of reform and opening up, and cooperate with the international community in an open and inclusive manner to seek mutual benefit and win-win results. China, which cherishes peace, is open, inclusive, sustainable and sincerely cooperates, will be an opportunity for the world and for the development of EU-China relations.
The "2018 China-Europe Tourism Year" was jointly initiated by China and the European Union in 2016, aiming at continuously promoting people-to-people exchanges through the cooperation agreement signed by the two sides, and taking the "Tourism Year" as an opportunity to expand personnel exchanges. According to the cooperation agreement, the two sides will hold a series of tourism activities under the framework of the Year of Tourism, so as to enhance the tourism cooperation between the two sides in improving the tourism experience of tourists visiting China and Europe, promoting cultural understanding and promoting the marketing of tourism products.
Filipa told reporters that in 2018, Vientiane will be renewed and there will be broad prospects for EU-China cooperation. During the China-EU Tourism Year, the two sides will hold various activities in each other’s tourist attractions. There are not only gorgeous cities like Paris, Rome, Athens and Budapest in Europe, but also many scenic spots to choose from. Both Europe and China have a large number of scenic spots listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO, as well as amazing natural wonders. The EU is cooperating with UNESCO to create more tourist routes. For the "2018 China-Europe Tourism Year", the EU will provide various business support and assistance, including supporting business summits, holding business matching activities, marketing activities, etc., so that governments, tourism organizations and the private sector of various countries and regions can deeply participate. At the same time, in terms of market access, the EU and China allow their respective tourism sectors to invest, which is an important measure to promote employment and economic growth. In order to provide China tourists with a better travel experience, the EU will increase online marketing and promotion to further understand the consumption habits of China tourists, so as to provide a better travel experience. Problems such as high travel expenses, complicated visa procedures and lack of Chinese information and materials usually affect tourists’ travel experience. In order to fully tap the potential of the European tourism market and create a satisfactory travel experience for tourists, it is an important goal to facilitate visas between the EU and China during the preparations for the 2018 China-Europe Tourism Year.It is necessary to provide China business travelers and tourists with more convenient multiple-entry visas. Filipa believes that the China-Europe Tourism Year will further enhance the understanding and trust between the European and Chinese people.
