China's economic situation and opportunities for cooperation
Over the past two years, due to the impact of the global financial crisis and catastrophic natural disasters, China has encountered most serious difficulties in its economic growth since the turn of the century. In tackling the crisis, the Chinese Government has relied mainly on expansion of domestic demand to stabilize the growth of the economy and has made up a stimulus package reflecting both the short-term target of addressing the economic downturn and the long-term goal of promoting the transformation of the economic development pattern. At the same time it has also made great efforts to promote and facilitate trade and investment and to achieve balanced development of import and export. The Government has steadfastly pushed ahead reform and opening up and has constantly adhered to the win-win principle in opening up.
