China's steadfast economic growth in past decade boon to world
BEIJING, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- At the week-long 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), a blueprint for the country's future development has been mapped out.
  The blueprint stands as a reassurance that China, a major driving force of the global economy over the past decade, will continue to benefit the world with its own growth.
  Data from the World Bank showed that during the 2013-2021 period, China's contribution to global economic growth averaged 38.6 percent, higher than that of the Group of Seven countries combined.
  Such robust momentum of the Chinese economy will be maintained, foretold global observers after studying China's future blueprint. The Chinese economy, with widely-recognized resilience and potential, will boost the confidence of a world facing pressing challenges, they said.
  GROWTH MIRACLE
   China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 3.9 percent year-on-year to 30.76 trillion yuan (about 4.32 trillion U.S. dollars) in the third quarter, 3.5 percentage points higher than that in the second quarter, data from the country's National Bureau of Statistics showed Monday.
  "China's economy expanded more strongly than expected in the third quarter," The Wall Street Journal said in response to the released data.
  In fact, China's economic engine has always been roaring ahead. From 2012 to 2021, China's GDP grew from 53.9 trillion yuan (about 7.58 trillion dollars) to 114.4 trillion yuan (about 15.77 trillion dollars). From 2013 to 2021, it grew at an average annual rate of 6.6 percent, beating the global level of 2.6 percent.
  China's gross national income per capita reached 11,890 dollars last year, doubling from the figure recorded in 2012. The expansion helped elevate China from 112th to 68th in the same timeframe as per a World Bank ranking.
  These remarkable achievements would hardly be possible without a better economic structure and more coordinated growth. The added value of China's manufacturing sector increased from 16.98 trillion yuan (about 2.37 trillion dollars) in 2012 to 31.4 trillion yuan (about 4.37 trillion dollars) in 2021, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the global total, up from 22.5 percent.
  China's fast development and profound changes have deeply impressed Robert Griffiths, general secretary of the Communist Party of Britain. "I am privileged to see those advances everywhere, in the standards of living of the people, in the housing, in the schools and institutes, in the spectacularly modern transport systems, in the new parks and gardens, in the towns, the cities and the countryside and in the pride people have in their community."
  Meanwhile, China has made great strides in scientific and technological innovation, featuring Chang'e lunar probes, Tianwen-1 Mars probe, introduction of a self-developed new high-speed maglev transportation system as well as the C919's type certificate for commercial flight.
  China has been following a distinctive path of an open national innovation system over the past decade, which has given fresh impetus to its economic development, setting an example for other countries, said Fu Xiaolan, founding director of the Technology and Management Center for Development at the University of Oxford.
  The approach "uses a combination of the state and the market to drive innovation and has integrated the country into the global innovation syste转债募投项目结项并将结余募集资金永久补充流动资金的公告(259386B)
