Unlike many developed countries, which forced businesses to shut down, China increased production capacity and flooded the locked down economies with Chinese products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince the start of [the Chinese coronavirus pandemic], China has provided to the international community some 350 billion masks, over four billion protective suits, over six billion testing kits, and over 1.6 billion doses of vaccines,\u201d Xi boasted.<\/p>\n<p>Xi also listed more specific achievements:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"14\">\n<p>Over the last 20 years, China\u2019s economic size has grown from the 6th to the 2nd largest in the world, trade in goods from the 6th to the 1st, and trade in services from the 11th to the 2nd. China has led developing countries in utilized foreign investment, and its outbound direct investment (ODI) has risen from the 26th to the 1st. The past 20 years have witnessed a China deepening reform and pursuing all-round opening up, a China seizing opportunities and rising to challenges, and a China stepping up to its responsibilities and benefiting the whole world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs the only major economy to register positive growth of trade in goods last year, China has made important contributions to keeping global industrial and supply chains stable and boosting world economic recovery,\u201d Xi asserted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The Chinese coronavirus pandemic began in Wuhan, China, in late 2019.

In the same time period, China documented a 46-percent increase in exports to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>While reminding the world of China\u2019s economic successes at the expense of many other economies, Xi\u2019s concern for the future of globalization as a viable economic path differed significantly from his remarks at the first-ever CIIE, in which he declared that the move towards globalization was \u201cirreversible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople with vision in the world would agree that economic globalization, as an irreversible trend of history, has greatly boosted global growth,\u201d Xi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2018\/11\/05\/xi-jinping-globalization-happen-independent-peoples-will\/\">said<\/a> in 2018, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p>This is an overarching trend, something that is independent of people\u2019s will.
