　　2018年，是中国改革开放40周年。40年沧桑巨变，如今的中国已成长为“最有活力的新兴经济体”，有责任、有担当的大国形象深入人心，在全球范围内推动构建命运共同体的总目标正在积极实践中。

　　为了庆祝改革开放40周年，荔枝新闻、我苏客户端联合江苏国际频道共同推出《环球视野看中国》特别策划，从国际视角看中国、话发展、谈未来。一起来听！

　　2018 marks the 40th anniversary of China’s Reform and Opening-Up Policy. Jiangsu International Channel, Litchi news and Ourjiangsu.com present you with a special series called Foreigners’ Perspectives of 4 Decades of Reform and Opening-Up by interviewing foreigners of various sectors to share their views on China’s development in the past 4 decades. 

 坚定改革开放的步伐，他们都对中国充满期待！

　　I think I’m positive to the opening policy. Like always, there might be some waves where you have to overcome some obstacles, but the strategy is there. No one in this world can go back from the global interaction. China moved so far to be completely integrated into the world-wide economy. And China has benefited from it in the past. So this will continue. I’m very confident when I listen to Mr. Xi Jinping.

　　我对（中国）改革开放的前景充满期待。在过程中可能要克服一些困难，但整体的战略方针是不变的。没有人可以在世界一体化进程中逆行。中国在融入全球经济一体化的道路上已走得很远，也从中获益。所以这个开放进程会继续下去。我从习近平主席的讲话中（看到了中国的态度），对此很有信心。

　　We’ve also seen lots of improvements in local business environments. These on-the-ground changes make a big difference for European businesses and for Chinese businesses as well. We’ve also seen quite a bit of progress in R&D environment. 2/3 of our members in our most recent report found that the business environment in China is either above worldwide average or equal to the worldwide average, which is a great piece of progress.

　　我们看到中国的商业环境有了很大改善，这些落到实处的变化对欧洲企业和中国企业都有很大的帮助。中国的研发环境也有了很大的进步。在欧盟商会最近发布的调查报告中我们发现，三分之二的企业成员表示中国的商业环境是优于世界平均水平的，这是很大的进步。

　　I think general it’s positive that China keeps opening up more. Maybe other countries in the world are moving in the other direction. I don’t think that’s a good thing. I think it’s good to work together on challenges that we all face. So opening up and working internationally I think that’s sort of giving. And that’s very welcomed, of course, to have this open mind set also in China and give more market access to international players as well.

　　中国仍然继续扩大开放，这是件好事。也许有些国家正反其道而行之，但我坚信我们应该携起手来，通过全球合作来共同应对挑战。打开国门、国际合作是我们乐于看到的，特别欢迎和期待中国以开放的胸怀，让更多的国际企业进入中国市场。
