Q: Today, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia annual conference in which he talked about major measures China will take to expand opening-up. How will these new measures impact the development of the region and the whole world? 

A: As China's reform and opening-up enters its 40th year in 2018, President Xi Jinping made a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia annual conference. He reviewed the remarkable achievements China has made in the past 40 years of the glorious journey on the path of reform and opening-up. He summarized the ingredients for the success of such a journey and highlighted the important contributions China's reform and opening-up efforts have made to the world over the past 40 years. 

Chinese leaders made the historic decision 40 years ago to carry out reform and opening-up which changed the course of China's future. Our efforts to implement that decision have contributed enormously to world rejuvenation and prosperity. China has grown stronger and forged win-win cooperation with other countries amid reform and opening-up. As President Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech, reform and opening-up, China's second revolution so to speak, has not only deeply changed the country but also profoundly influenced the whole world.
