The dream of economic development by 1.3 billion people will not only benefit
China itself, but also the world as a whole, scholars told a symposium in
Beijing on Sunday.
"The opening of China enables Chinese as well as
people in other countries to fulfil their Chinese dream," said President of the
Chinese Foreign Affairs University Wu Jianmin.
Compared with dreams of
some foreign countries in history, the Chinese dream is different as China will
fulfill its dream by peaceful development instead of colonization, said Wu.
The scale of foreign direct investment in China also means that the Chinese
dream belongs to the world, he added.
By 2004, nearly half a million
foreign-funded companies had been established in China, with a total contracted
foreign investment of 1.1 trillion U.S. dollars. About 562.1 billion dollars has
been put to use.
The Chinese pursuing their dream also pay high respect
to other cultures, which is important for the peaceful development of the world,
said Hao Ping, president of Beijing Foreign Studies University.
Hao said
Chinese should also learn from other countries to fulfill their dream.
The symposium with the theme of "the Chinese dream and a harmonious world"
attracted more than 100 scholars and experts.
It was organized by China
National Association for International Studies, the Chinese Foreign Affairs
University, Beijing Foreign Studies University, and Tianjin Institute of Foreign
Languages.
