对外开放是中国的基本国策。开放推动了改革，开放促进了发展。我们一再强调，中国开放的大门不会关闭，只会越开越大。今天上午，习近平主席在主旨演讲中宣布了中国扩大开放的一系列新的重要举措，涵盖放宽市场准入、改善投资环境、加强知识产权保护、主动扩大进口等四个方面。习主席的宣布激起现场嘉宾的热烈反响，引起国际社会的高度关注，获得国内国外的广泛好评。
当前，单边主义、贸易保护主义抬头，多边贸易体制遭遇挑战，经济全球化进程面临困难。在此形势下，中国高举贸易投资自由化旗帜，推动构建开放型世界经济，呼吁各国寻求合作共赢，并且主动宣布扩大开放的一系列重大举措。中方用实际行动为国际贸易的增长和世界经济的发展提供了有力支撑，注入了强劲动能。
Opening-up, as China's basic state policy, has driven forward reform and development. We have said many times that China's door to the outside world will only open wider. President Xi Jinping in his speech this morning announced a series of important new measures to expand opening-up, promising to ease market access, improve investment environment, enhance IPR protection, and take the initiative to expand imports. Such announcements, closely followed by the international community, received warm responses from the audience and wide approval from the international community.
Today's world is seeing a resurgence of unilateralism and protectionism. The multilateral trading regime is faced with challenges, and the economic globalization is mired in difficulties. Under such circumstances, China is holding high the banner of trade and investment liberalization, striving to build an open world economy, and calling on all countries to commit to win-win cooperation. With the announcement of these major measures for greater opening-up, China is taking concrete actions to support and propel the development of international trade and world economy.
习近平主席宣布的扩大开放的重大举措向世界清晰地表明，中国的发展是世界的机遇，中国也愿意与世界分享这一机遇。我们真诚欢迎各国搭乘中国发展的快车。

President Xi Jinping's words has sent a clear message to the world that China's development offers opportunities to the world. We would like to share these opportunities with others and sincerely wish that other countries could catch a ride on China's fast train of development.
Q: What is your response to reports by Australian media saying that China is building a military base in Vanuatu? Do you think that Australia should worry about the large strategic infrastructure projects that China assists in the Southern Pacific region?
