China has been committed to advancing trade liberalization and economic globalization by continuously deepening reform and opening-up, and it has achieved remarkable results.

The long-term vision, strategic thinking and the strong will of the Chinese government has enabled China to achieve this great accomplishment, and also contributed to world progress.

In addition, it uplifted and drove the world's recovery from the pandemic, especially considering the marvelous achievement was made in a time when global economic order was undergoing challenges and uncertainties.

A2 The remarkable changes that resulted from China's reform and opening-up in the late 1970s have transformed China into the second-largest economy in the world, testifying that openness is the right way to growth and wealth.

The Chinese government's commitment to promoting high-quality development and high-level opening-up will bear fruit by attracting more foreign investment and enabling more Chinese companies to go global and do business internationally. This will further increase demand for international logistics. DHL Express China will continue to play its part in contributing to the development of China's logistics industry.

A3 The strong economic recovery from COVID-19 again demonstrates the extraordinary resilience and dynamism of China's economy.

The resilient economy comes from the Chinese government's commitment to market-oriented reform, high-level opening-up and complete industry chains and infrastructure facilities that have been proven successful both before and after the pandemic.

These are fundamental to the steady and sustainable economic growth in China, and distinguish China's economy from other economies.

DHL structurally invests in trend research and solutions development. We expect to continue collaboration with Chinese counterparts to embrace technological innovation in the logistics industry.

A5 During the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period, the Chinese government has pledged to accelerate digitalization development and build a digital China.

The digital economy plays an important role in stabilizing economic development. Even during the pandemic, it has maintained rapid growth and expedited the development of new business models, including online entertainment, online healthcare and teleworking. We believe the future digital economy will continue to serve as one of the stabilizers and accelerators to spur new growth.
