Shanghai Municipal Party Secretary Chen Jining met with Harvard University professor Allison in the US this afternoon. Chen Jining said that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has drawn up a grand blueprint for Chinese-style modernization. Our goal is to basically achieve socialist modernization by 2035, so that ordinary people can live a better life. As a frontier position for China's reform and opening up and a cosmopolitan city deeply linked to the world, Shanghai has unswervingly expanded a high level of opening-up to the outside world in accordance with President Xi Jinping's important instructions and requirements, and supports Chinese and foreign enterprises to further develop in Shanghai with a market-based, rule-of-law, and world-class business environment and a long-term, stable, transparent, and predictable institutional environment. We thoroughly implement the concept of a people's city and continuously improve people's quality of life. Shanghai has become one of the safest cities in the world. We will continue to fundamentally follow the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation proposed by President Xi Jinping, and play a positive local role for the stable, healthy, and sustainable development of Sino-US relations. Allison said that the US-China relationship is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world. Facing the current turbulent and intertwined international situation, we must not only learn from history and be good at finding ways to inspire the future from the laws of history, but also insist on enhancing consensus in deepening exchanges, and carry out effective cooperation focusing on global challenges of common concern, such as climate, economy, trade, and artificial intelligence, to play a better role.
