China pushes for 'interconnected' growth

The just-concluded G20 summit sent a positive signal that the world's major economies, of which China is a bellwether, will push for "interconnected" growth, enhance economic cooperation and improve global governance. The summit, themed "Shaping an Interconnected World", was held in Hamburg, Germany, amid news that the global economy has recorded its best performance since the 2008 global financial crisis.

China's ideas and initiatives, articulated by President Xi Jinping in his speeches at the Hamburg summit and at a host of other international forums since 2013, are deemed by many G20 members as critical to leading global "interconnected" growth and advancing shared prosperity.

Determined to build a community of shared destiny for humankind, Xi raised in Hamburg a set of ideas to ensure a strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth in accordance with the spirit of last year's G20 Leaders Summit in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province.
