Nobel laureate in economics Christopher Pissarides emphasizes that "it is to eliminate poverty and improve human well-being, rather than making the rich richer or the powerful more powerful." Speaking at the Hongqiao Forum, he highlights China's transformation into the world's largest trading nation within just 30 years, thanks to its openness.
