(Beijing Comprehensive News) Zhou Xiaochuan, deputy director of the Boao Forum for Asia and former president of the People's Bank of China, said yesterday that China has maintained the identity of developing countries for so many years.Righteousness speaks.

According to Tencent Finance, the Boao Asia Forum 2019 Annual Meeting yesterday was a sub -forum with the theme of the World Trade Organization (WTO) reform yesterday.The world of the world spoke and made our own contribution, and we will continue to do so.

China's comprehensive national strength has continued to improve in recent years, and it is the second largest economy in the world. In recent years, China has always been questioned in developing countries that China has always adhered to in WTO.Zhou Xiaochuan said that while discussing preferential treatment in developing countries, it is not necessary to ignore that China also needs to help many low -income countries to achieve development and benefits from the global trading system.

Zhou Xiaochuan also said that China has actively talked about the issue of WTO reform with the EU institution. He also heard a lot of criticism. It should be explained that in the process of China's transition from the planned economy to the market economy, it has greatly reduced market distortions.However, the transformation process is long, and some areas are still inevitable that there is still a problem of market distortions. The Chinese government is very willing to accelerate the reform process to eliminate these conditions. These distortions will eventually disappear.

Zhou Xiaochuan said that there are some distortions caused by the misunderstandings of both parties. What needs to be clarified is that China is a big country. In the implementation process, local governments will be inconsistent with the central government. Local governments may have some improper behaviors, but this is not China.For China, for China, we must face the criticism of us directly, and these criticisms can help us accelerate the process of reform and opening up.

He also said that China has joined the WTO and has a great role in promoting China's domestic reform, such as price reform and reducing tariffs.In the past, China's price system was very distorted, but most of the subsidies in the reform process have gradually been canceled. There are also subsidies for electricity and natural gas systems. In general, there are not many subsidies. Some people say that the Chinese government and the banking system have one.Systematic subsidies to support state -owned enterprises, in fact, this is not the case many years ago.
