In March of this year, China's two sessions will once again attract global attention. For many foreign professionals who are interested in China, the annual Two Sessions are an important opportunity to observe and understand China's development. Recently, reporters from China Youth Daily and China Youth Net interviewed Enrique Nobrega, President of the Brazil China Friendship Association, Hassan Farid, a Pakistani professor at Beijing International Studies University, and Sami Abu Asi, a Syrian scholar. They expressed their expectation for China to play a greater role in global economic recovery and sustainable development, and they are most concerned about these keywords for the upcoming Chinese Two Sessions. The "the Belt and Road" and "Two Sessions" are windows for China to convey development confidence to the world, "Fareed pointed out. This Pakistani scholar has repeatedly cited the Lahore Orange Line as an example. This is Pakistan's first subway, constructed by Chinese enterprises, with a total length of 27 kilometers and 26 stations. It is one of the early harvest projects of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). At that time, the China Pakistan Economic Corridor injected a shot in the arm into Pakistan's economic development, "said Farid." The successful operation of this subway project not only improved local transportation conditions, but also provided a replicable model for the development of other cities in Pakistan. "It is reported that the Orange Line officially opened for operation in October 2020, with a daily passenger flow of 250000 in 2023 and a peak of 270000 during peak hours. As of February 2024, the Orange Line has transported a total of 140 million passengers, becoming a landmark project for China Pakistan cooperation. More than a year ago, Asi attended the third the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. At the forum, he listened to researchers and decision-makers from around the world discussing the direct and visible impact of this initiative. "Syria, as a participant in the the Belt and Road Initiative, looks forward to more cooperation with China in the field of infrastructure reconstruction." He mentioned that China's experience and technology in infrastructure construction are crucial to Syria and other post-war reconstruction countries. "Last year, a key project under the 'the Belt and Road' initiative was to announce the opening of a new railway line connecting China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan." Asi is referring to the China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan railway project announced to be launched on December 27, 2024. According to the plan, the total length of the China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan railway is about 523 kilometers, including 213 kilometers within China, 260 kilometers within Kyrgyzstan, and about 50 kilometers within Uzbekistan. After completion, the China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Railway will be the shortest freight route from China to Europe and the Middle East. What also caught Asi's attention was the "new quality productivity". "I believe that this concept can form strategic synergy with the the Belt and Road initiative. China's technological breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, green energy and other fields are reshaping the international cooperation model." Norbrega said that the cooperation between China and Brazil in various fields has reflected the spirit of the "the Belt and Road". Issues related to the "the Belt and Road", progress in green technology, and the China Pakistan community of common destiny are his focus. "I noticed that during the G20 Summit in Brazil last year, China Brazil cooperation was particularly close. What impressed me most was China's emphasis on innovation, digital transformation and the 'double cycle' strategy. These have all brought new opportunities for China Brazil cooperation in sustainable agriculture and energy transformation." "The unique feature of the the Belt and Road is that it will develop new dimensions every year," Asi said. Regarding the upcoming National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in 2025, Farid stated that he is most concerned about how China can further promote high-quality development, especially in terms of policy measures such as technological innovation and consumer boost. China is shifting from the stage of 'high-speed growth' to the stage of 'high-quality development', which not only concerns the sustainability of the Chinese economy, but also has a profound impact on the global economic landscape, "said Farid. Farid specifically mentioned China's remarkable achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. The launch of innovative applications such as DeepSeek marks that China's artificial intelligence technology is' overtaking 'and gaining a leading position in global technological competition He stated that China has not only made breakthroughs in technology, but also cultivated domestic talents through policy support and established a technology oriented education system. This dual wheel drive model of "technology+education" will lay a solid foundation for future economic growth. Asi is more concerned about China's policy trends in the consumer sector. He observed that in the past year, the Chinese government has effectively stimulated consumption through policies such as "trade in", especially in the fields of durable consumer goods such as home appliances and automobiles. It is reported that in 2024, China will increase its support for the eight major categories of household appliances through trade in programs, achieving sales of over 60 million units and directly driving consumption of over 260 billion yuan. These measures not only stimulate domestic demand, but also provide impetus for global economic recovery. Asi expects that by 2025, China will further expand the coverage of consumer support policies, especially in the fields of green consumption and digital consumption. China is one of the world's largest consumer markets, and the adjustment of its consumption policies will have a significant impact on the global supply chain and trade pattern. At the same time, he looks forward to further expanding policies to areas such as technology and health, which can not only unleash domestic demand potential but also provide reference solutions for improving people's livelihoods in countries such as Pakistan. These foreign experts expressed a high level of concern about China's GDP during the interviews. The global economic environment remains uncertain, but experts are optimistic about the resilience of the Chinese economy. Farid believes that China has successfully responded to external environmental challenges through flexible economic policies and a strong domestic market. Despite the slow pace of global economic recovery, China has maintained stable economic growth through measures such as supporting domestic demand, stabilizing the real estate market, and promoting green and low-carbon energy transformation. He predicts that China's GDP growth rate in 2025 will be the same as in 2024. The green and low-carbon transformation of energy is the focus of Nobrega's attention. He believes that China's low-carbon development strategy is closely related to Brazil's interests, especially in strengthening agricultural sustainability and energy diversification. The green technologies promoted by China, measures to address climate change, ensure energy security, as well as global civilization initiatives and advocacy for building a community with a shared future for mankind, will all provide valuable insights for Brazil's economic transformation, "said Nobrega. However, Farid pointed out that the global economy still faces issues including geopolitical conflicts, rising trade protectionism, and supply chain disruptions. "The U.S. government's unilateralism policy has exacerbated the uncertainty of the global economy, while China has injected new momentum into global economic growth through multilateral cooperation and the the Belt and Road Initiative." "Bilateral cooperation" and "bilateral cooperation" have become the hot words of attention of foreign experts. Green technology and renewable energy can become key areas of cooperation between the two countries in the future Asi stated that China's leading position in clean energy technologies such as solar and wind power provides important support for the global energy transition, and Syria can introduce China's green building technology and smart city solutions in post-war reconstruction. This will not only contribute to the post-war economic recovery of Syria, but also set an example for sustainable development in the Middle East, "said Noberega." Brazil also has high expectations for cooperation with China's clean energy industry. China has set global standards in solar and wind energy, and the potential for the application of artificial intelligence in multiple fields is enormous. He believes that these industries have created opportunities for China Pakistan cooperation, especially in sustainable agriculture and digital transformation of key industries. Cooperation can promote innovative solutions and become a model for global cooperation. He stated that the China Pakistan Friendship Association has been committed to promoting mutual understanding and cultural exchanges between the two countries for many years, and will continue to build bridges and strengthen the common foundation of cooperation between the two countries in the future. When it comes to future cooperation, foreign experts have expressed their expectation for China's cooperation with their own country to expand to deeper levels and broader fields. Fareed believes that the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, as an important project of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, has achieved remarkable results in energy, transportation and other fields. These policies will not only promote the high-quality development of the Chinese economy, but also provide new impetus for global economic recovery, "said Farid." As the world's second-largest economy, China's decisions are of great significance to the world, and we look forward to China providing new ideas and solutions for international cooperation. "As the two sessions of the Chinese People's Congress in 2025 are about to kick off, the international community's expectations for China are not limited to domestic policy adjustments, but also about how China can play a greater role in global economic recovery and sustainable development. From technological innovation to green transformation, from boosting consumption to international cooperation, every step taken by China will have a profound impact on the world. Our world is full of complex challenges, and China has always been committed to uniting all countries for common development, benefiting all countries. This fully reflects China's leadership and responsibility in addressing global challenges Noburega said. (New Society)
