Striking the gavel: China's integration into the global economy

At the Museum of the Communist Party of China, a small, unassuming reddish-brown gavel marks a monumental moment in history. This gavel played a crucial role in China's official entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Dec 11, 2001.

After 15 years of negotiations and significant economic reforms, China integrated its vast production capacity into the global economy, contributing immensely to global growth and poverty reduction. This moment symbolized not just China's economic rise but also its commitment to peaceful international exchange and cooperation.

As we look ahead, China continues to embrace globalization, fostering a strategy of opening up for mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, contributing to a shared future for all humanity.
