　　“一带一路”是中国改革开放的升级。去年是中国改革开放40周年，中国已成为世界第二大经济体，130多个国家的最大贸易伙伴，有望成为世界最大的消费市场。同时，中国发展仍然面临区域不平衡问题特别是西部地区发展状况落后。西部地区拥有全中国72%的国土面积、27%的人口，但只有20%的经济总量，对外贸易和对外投资均只占全国总量的7%。中国希望通过共建“一带一路”，开展新一轮高水平对外开放，为世界发展提供更多投资机遇、市场机遇和合作机遇。我们也希望通过共建“一带一路”，为中国自身的发展创造新空间、开辟新机遇，特别是推动西部地区从对外开放的“后卫”变“前锋”，形成陆海内外联动、东西双向互济的开放格局。

For China, the Belt and Road Initiative will further promote its reform and opening-up. Last year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up policy. Thanks to the policy, China has become the world's second largest economy and the biggest trading partner of more than 130 countries. It is expected to become the world's biggest consumer market. Meanwhile, China is still confronted with development imbalance among different regions. The less developed western region, with 72 percent of China's landmass and 27 percent of its total population, accounts for only 20 percent of the GDP and 7 percent of foreign trade and outbound investment. The Chinese government hopes that joint efforts to develop the BRI will push a new round of its high-standard opening-up, and generate more opportunities for investment, market and cooperation to the world. We hope that such efforts will also create new opportunities for China's development. And the western region of China, a latecomer in opening-up, will catch up and even take the lead, shaping a prospect of interconnected and mutually beneficial development between the western and the eastern parts. To use a metaphor in football pitch, China's western region may be a back now, but it can be a forward soon.
