三、中国加入世贸组织后对世界作出重要贡献
III. China’s Significant Contribution to the World After Accession to the WTO
中国坚定不移奉行互利共赢的对外开放战略，遵循世贸组织自由贸易理念，在对外开放中展现大国担当。从加入世贸组织到共建“一带一路”，中国开放胸襟、拥抱世界，为促进世界经济贸易发展、增加全球民众福祉作出了重大贡献，成为世界经济的主要稳定器和动力源。
China steadfastly pursues a mutually beneficial opening-up strategy, upholds the WTO’s principle of free trade, and has lived up to its responsibilities as a major country in the process of opening-up. From its WTO accession in 2001 to the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013, China has embraced the world with open arms, made a significant contribution to promoting international trade and increasing global wellbeing, and become a key anchor and driver for the world economy.
（一）拉动世界经济复苏和增长
1. Boosting world economic recovery and growth
加入世贸组织后，中国改革开放和经济发展进入加速期，中国的发展有力促进了世界经济发展。
Since its accession to the WTO, China has accelerated its reform and opening-up process and economic growth. China’s development is a forceful driver of global economic growth.
2016年，按照汇率法计算，中国国内生产总值占世界的比重达到14.8%，较2001年提高10.7个百分点。自2002年以来，中国对世界经济增长的平均贡献率接近30%，是拉动世界经济复苏和增长的重要引擎。
In 2016, China’s GDP accounted for 14.8 percent of the world total, up by 10.7 percentage points over 2001, calculated at exchange rates. Since 2002, China’s contribution to global economic growth has approached 30 percent on average. The Chinese economy has become a major engine for global economic recovery and growth.
中国新型工业化、信息化、城镇化、农业现代化快速推进，形成巨大的消费和投资空间，为全球创造了更多就业。根据国际劳工组织发布的首份《中国与拉美和加勒比地区经贸关系报告》，1990－2016年，中国为拉美和加勒比地区创造了180万个就业岗位。
China has quickened its pace in promoting new industrialization, IT application, urbanization, and agricultural modernization, created enormous opportunities for consumption and investment, and generated more jobs for the world. According to a report released by the International Labor Organization, “Effects of China on the Quantity and Quality of Jobs in Latin America and the Caribbean”, China created 1.8 million jobs for Latin America and the Caribbean region from 1990 to 2016.
中国的快速发展为全球减贫事业作出了巨大贡献。改革开放40年来，中国人民生活从短缺走向充裕、从贫困走向小康，现行联合国标准下的7亿多贫困人口成功脱贫，占同期全球减贫人口总数70%以上，为世界提供了最高的减贫贡献率。
China’s rapid development has made tremendous contributions to the cause of global poverty reduction. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, the Chinese people have emerged from scarcity to abundance and from poverty to moderate prosperity. According to current UN standards, more than 700 million Chinese people have been lifted out of poverty, accounting for more than 70% of the global total over the same period. This represents the largest contribution to poverty reduction in the world.
（二）对外贸易发展惠及全球
2. Foreign trade development benefiting the world
加入世贸组织以来，中国对外贸易持续发展，惠及13亿多中国人民，也惠及世界各国人民。
Since China’s entry into the WTO, China’s foreign trade has maintained sustained development, benefiting more than 1.3 billion Chinese and other peoples across the world.
面对国际金融危机等前所未有的困难和挑战，中国采取有效措施积极应对，努力促进对外贸易回稳向好。世贸组织数据显示，2017年，中国在全球货物贸易进口和出口总额中所占比重分别达到10.2%和12.8%，是120多个国家和地区的主要贸易伙伴。
Confronted with unprecedented difficulties and challenges including the global financial crisis in 2008, China has taken effective measures to stabilize and revitalize its foreign trade. According to WTO statistics, China’s imports accounted for 10.2 percent of the world total merchandise import in 2017, and its exports 12.8 percent, making China a major trade partner of more than 120 countries and regions.
中国货物贸易出口为全球企业和民众提供了物美价优的商品；2001－2017年，中国货物贸易进口额年均增长13.5%，高出全球平均水平6.9个百分点，已成为全球第二大进口国。自2009年以来，中国一直是最不发达国家第一大出口市场，吸收了最不发达国家五分之一的出口。
China’s exports have provided high-quality and inexpensive products to businesses and people around the world. From 2001 to 2017, China’s imports increased by an annual average of 13.5 percent, 6.9 percentage points higher than the global average; and China has become the world’s second largest importer. Since 2009, China has been the largest export market for the LDCs, and absorbed 20 percent of their exports.

Since 2013, China has been the world’s second largest service importer, making significant contributions to stimulating consumption, creating jobs and boosting economic growth in the exporting countries. Taking tourism services as an example, China has been the world’s largest source of outbound tourists for many years in a row. In 2017, outbound tourist trips made by Chinese citizens exceeded 130 million person-times, generating USD115.29 billion of overseas tourism spending.
中国贸易模式的创新也为世界贸易的增长带来了新的动力。跨境电商等对外贸易新业态新模式快速发展，为贸易伙伴提供了更加广阔的市场。2017年中国海关验放的跨境电子商务进出口商品总额为902.4亿元人民币，同比增长80.6%，其中进口为565.9亿元人民币，同比增长高达120%。
China’s innovation in trade models has also given new impetus to world trade growth. Cross-border e-commerce and other new types and modes of foreign trade have flourished in China, providing an ever-expanding market to its trading partners. In 2017, the value of imported and exported goods in cross-border e-commerce checked and released by China Customs totaled RMB90.24 billion, up by 80.6 percent on yearly basis, of which imports stood at RMB56.59 billion, up by 120 percent compared with the previous year.
