On the evening of September 24th, 2065438+00, Fan, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of China Artists Association, cordially met with Robert Lawrence Cooter, an internationally renowned investment banker and corporate strategist, and the two sides had a cordial and friendly exchange.

Robert Lawrence Cooter said: Why do I value China? It needs to be interpreted by history. The 60th anniversary of the founding of New China marks that China's epic modernization journey has reached a "two-thirds milestone". The third 30 years of New China will be the most dynamic and full of unknowns, which will set the course for future generations and bring about the greatest transformation in the history of the most populous country on earth.

Fan said that the current reform in China has brought about great changes in the economy, but personally, I think the biggest change in China lies not in the economy, but in the changes in the spirit of the people in China, as well as the changes in the way of thinking and their own feelings.

Now, the people of China have more and more confidence in their country and future. China's transformation from a marginal country that is poor, backward, out of touch with the world and subjected to discrimination to a big country that is playing an increasingly important role in international affairs has not only surprised China itself, but also shocked the world.

Robert Lawrence Cote said: The financial crisis has shaken the past pattern of the world and strengthened China's position relative to the United States, Europe and Japan. Although China was also deeply affected by the financial crisis, China's economy recovered rapidly and played a role in the global economy. Although people have realized that the "China era" will always come, he wants to emphasize that this era has come ahead of time.

When explaining President Hu Jintao's views to the western audience, he will use the "China model" to describe it-a brand-new and highly systematic national development model, including sustained economic growth, a strong central government and powerful central enterprises (pillar industries), and a free market driven by active private (non-state-owned) enterprises.

I am a person full of curiosity about things, and my greatest passion lies in understanding things and their operating rules. For me, politics and economy need to understand the laws and internal relations. Science and investment banking were my choice, but China chose me.

Jin Chen, a famous party history philologist and deputy director of the Central Literature Research Office, attended the meeting. Comrade Jin Chen is also the editor-in-chief of "Literature of the Party" and the vice-president of China Mao Zedong Poetry Research Association.

Secretary-General Fan delivered a speech on behalf of social groups in China's cultural and artistic circles, thanking the Korean Ambassador and his wife for their invitation. Fan mentioned in his speech that with the continuous development of China-ROK relations, China and South Korea have increasingly close exchanges and cooperation in the fields of economy, science and technology, culture, education and tourism. May the friendship between China and South Korea last forever.
