British economist Luo Siyi recently said in an online interview with Xinhua News Agency that he was deeply impressed by the tremendous transformation of the Chinese economy and the significant improvement in people's living standards over the past few decades. Luo Siyi said that China used to be one of the poorest countries in the world, but now it has fully built a moderately prosperous society. Such development and changes are unprecedented and provide inspiration for other developing countries. Luo Siyi once served as the Director General of the London Economic and Business Policy Office in the United Kingdom. He said that the opening up of reform and opening up has aroused his strong interest in China, and he has always had high expectations for China's development. In 1992, someone asked me, why are you so interested in China? China is so poor, you should be more interested in countries like Germany and Japan. I told them that from an economic theory perspective, China's economic policies are completely correct and will achieve great success Luo Siyi said. Luo Siyi is currently a senior researcher at the Chongyang Institute of Finance at Renmin University of China. Since 2009, he has been working at Chinese universities and witnessed the continuous improvement of the living standards of Chinese people. Luo Siyi said that in the past, his Chinese colleagues and students were excited about traveling abroad, but now in China, many people travel abroad with their families. In the past, he had to travel between Beijing and Shanghai, taking a lot of time to travel between the airport and the city center; Nowadays, the high-speed rail connecting the two places makes him feel convenient, comfortable, and efficient. Sitting on the high-speed train is like being in an office, because I can turn on my computer and access the internet wirelessly Luo Siyi said, "The improvement of transportation facilities seems to have made China smaller in space." China's technological progress also left a deep impression on Luo Siyi. He told reporters that he likes to observe the license plate colors of cars driving on the road to determine which cars are new energy vehicles. Beijing has so many new energy vehicles, which is "amazing". In Luo Siyi's view, China not only continues to climb the global value chain, but also performs well in industries with strong growth prospects such as communication and clean energy. Regarding some Western media's "pessimistic" views on the Chinese economy, Luo Siyi said, "About every two years, there will be arguments that the Chinese economy is" about to collapse, "but in fact, this has never happened. There is no other country more successful than China
