The power of thought, Chilean cherries and Chinese shield machines.
It takes 23 days and a journey of 20000 kilometers. This is the time for the "Cherry Express" to transport Chilean cherries into China, which is about 10 days shorter than ten years ago. Garces, from Chile, runs the largest local cherries production and export enterprise, 82% of which are sold to China. Garces said: "The business environment in China is very friendly, and there are unlimited possibilities in China."

A high level of opening up to the outside world requires both bringing in and going out. This year, China Railway Equipment will soon complete the export of the 100th shield machine. Shield machine, also called full-face tunnel boring machine, is a sharp weapon for the construction of subway, railway and highway tunnels. In the past ten years, Wang Dujuan's team sold Chinese shield machines to more than 30 countries and regions including France and Italy, which won the trust of the international market and also represented the high level of China's opening up.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has continued to promote a high level of opening up to the outside world, repeatedly stressing that "China's door to opening up will not be closed, but will only get wider and wider. China's push for a higher level of opening up will not stagnate."
Nowadays, there are more and more open platforms such as China's Expo, Service Trade Fair and Consumer Fair.
China has set up 21 free trade zones and one free trade port, with free trade partners on five continents.
Over the past decade, China's average contribution to world economic growth has reached 38.6 per cent, ranking first in the world.
