Japanese economist: "Road and Belt " will internationalize China's reform and opening up

People's Daily Online, Tokyo, April 28 (Xu Yongxin) The "  Road and Belt " International Cooperation Summit Forum High-end Conference Company will be held in Beijing from May 14 to 15, 2017. Recently, People's Daily reporter conducted an exclusive interview with the famous Japanese economist and researcher of the International Trade and Investment Research Institute, Jiang Yuan, asking him for the practical significance of the “Belt and Road Initiative” initiative, the international public goods that can be provided, and the promotion of RMB internationalization. As well as Japanese companies and the "One Belt, One Road" and other issues expressed their views.

The “Belt and Road Initiative” can be described as a matter of course.

The "Belt and Road" initiative immediately attracted the interest of Jiang Yuan, and he always kept a close eye on subsequent development. Jiang Yuan rules are often invited to participate in meetings held in China on “road and belt ”. Around 2014, when the “Belt and Road” did not attract attention, many people felt that it could not be achieved, but he did not think so. He thought at the time that this could be seen as the internationalization of China's reform and opening up policy, that is, applying the experience of China's reform and opening up to foreign countries.

Jiang Yuan ruled that China hopes to establish a new economic circle. In this sense, the “one belt” belongs to the vacuum zone. Because “all the way” already has economic circles and FTAs, as well as RCEP, and “one area” is also an extremely important area in history, but there are many economically underdeveloped areas, and the development of “ Road and Belt ” will drive these. The area has developed.

Jiang Yuan said that China became the world's second largest economy in 2010 and has become one of the world's major trading nations. Now the economic strength can already make the initiative of the “Belt and Road”, and China wants to know its current status. What kind of position is in the world, so China’s proposal for such an initiative can be said to be a matter of course. Although this was proposed by President Xi Jinping, it is also a requirement of the times, as a big country should do. Jiang Yuanzhang is very much looking forward to this summit forum. He said that how the world countries accept the "Belt and Road" initiative can be seen at the forum.

"Belt and Road" has become a reality

The “Belt and Road” has caused widespread concern in the world, but unfortunately, there are still people who hold opinions that will not advance smoothly. Jiang Yuan ruled that there are things that people who are unwilling to accept when new things first appear. This is no way. China has also suffered the same question at the beginning of reform and opening up. Compared with reform and opening up, the history of the “Belt and Road” is much shorter. It is only three and a half years, so it is not surprising that there are different voices. . The conference company believes that China has great influence and presence. In a short period of time, it has been able to bring together the heads of 28 countries in the world. It should be said that the speed is very fast. It can be said that what makes everyone think it is impossible. It became a reality. Although it is still unclear what kind of surprises will happen, as long as China takes the initiative and gradually forms an atmosphere in which everyone can do things together, there will be a “ Road and belt” global governance that can compensate for today’s global governance. Inadequacies.

International public goods provided by the “Belt and Road”

The international public goods provided by the “Belt and Road” are first of all infrastructure. The infrastructure covers a wide range and is the foundation of economic development. In the process of co-construction between China and foreign countries, the international capacity cooperation proposed by Premier Li Keqiang has become a typical example. The ideal form of international capacity cooperation is that Chinese companies work with developed-country companies to develop economic cooperation in investment in third countries. In this regard, Jiang Yuan’s rule is that there are many foreign-funded enterprises in China, and it is possible to realize such a model: foreign-invested enterprises stationed in China go out to carry out cross-border cooperation with Chinese enterprises. If such a successful example emerges, it can achieve China-based cross-border development and complement China's huge market with the advantages of transnational development. At the same time, economic activities are also carried out in China, which not only pay taxes in China, but also achieve cross-border development and build local infrastructure to consolidate the foundation of economic development. Jiang Yuan’s rule is that only one country in China can do this and speak to the world.

" Road and belt" promotes the internationalization of the RMB

In the construction of the “Belt and Road”, as the volume of trade and investment projects continue to increase, the opportunities and share of using the RMB will also increase. Jiang Yuanyi believes that using the RMB for circulation is convenient and helps to reduce risks. He pointed out that the RMB has been included in the SDR (Special Drawing Rights), the Chinese share has gradually increased, and the international evaluation has gradually increased. As the area using the RMB to trade increases, the countries that use the RMB as the main currency for trade settlement also Will be more and more. If the number of countries that have joined the renminbi in foreign exchange reserves is increasing, it will naturally increase the status of the renminbi. The “Belt and Road” will promote the renminbi trading to become more international than ever before.

Japanese companies are beginning to pay attention to the “Belt and Road” business opportunities and prepare

Focusing on the business opportunities brought by the “Belt and Road” to Japan, Gangwon said that compared with the major European countries, Japan may still lack the perspective of seeing the problem from the “Belt and Road”, but it is gratifying that before the Japanese companies I am almost uninterested in the “Belt and Road” and have now changed from not caring to being very concerned and waiting to see if there are opportunities, which shows that they are ready. Jiang Yuanzhi pointed out that each country and each enterprise has different ways of judging whether there is a business opportunity. However, as long as Japanese companies care about and discover the business opportunities of the “Belt and Road”, the conference service company will act. Although changes in international relations will also affect how Japan views the “Belt and Road”, the decisive role will still be whether there are business opportunities.
