I'm impressed by China's commitment to promoting global economic growth and believes that China can provide a new driving force to and open up a new chapter for global economy against the general background of economic slowdown. I agree with President Xi Jinping that innovation will play an extremely important role in the process. Mankind is faced with multiple roads to drive economic growth and picking a proper road for sustainable development is the key.
