The data also shows that from January to August, China"s foreign contracting projects completed turnover came to 611.37 billion yuan, up 2.3% (equivalent to $93.19 billion, up 1%).

"At present, the world economy is facing multiple challenges, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, and the global consensus on openness has weakened. China always supports economic globalization, unswervingly promotes a high level of opening up to the outside world, accelerates the construction of a new development pattern, and provides more market opportunities, investment opportunities, and growth opportunities for enterprises from all countries." Shu Jueting, a spokesperson from China"s Ministry of Commerce said.
Since China"s accession to the WTO, more countries have been involved in free trade cooperation with China. A global network of high-standard free trade zones that cooperate with member countries along the "Belt and Road" and other neighboring countries based on the periphery has been gradually formed. The next step will be making efforts to promote the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) upgrade strategy from the three aspects of "expansion, quality enhancement, and efficiency improvement".
