Lin Yifu, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Dean of the New Structural Economics Research Institute of Peking University, said that he can become the first Chinese in the position of the chief economist of the World Bank. It is the result of the achievements of China's reform and opening up and the result of rising. The historical trend is mighty. Young people on both sides of the strait should work together to break the deadlock of cross -strait relations, contribute to national rejuvenation, and provide a stage for personal development.

"Anyone's achievement requires opportunities. Reform and opening up allows China to develop rapidly and provide us with a lot of room for us to have the opportunity to achieve their own career."

Lin Yifu went along with reform and opening up. In 1979, at the age of 27, he was desperate for "revitalizing China". He returned to the mainland of the motherland from Taiwan and entered the Department of Economics of Peking University. In the 1980s, he went to the United States to study and returned to China after the doctors of economics. After that, he worked in many positions such as the Rural Development Research Center of Peking University and the State Council.

In 2008, Lin Yifu became the chief economist of the World Bank and became the first Chinese in this post.

"The World Bank is considered the most important development institution in the world. I am the ninth chief economist. The eight in front of me are top economists in the United States and Europe. Among them, there are Nobel Prize winners, and later He serves as the president of Harvard University, and the director of the European and US Presidential Economic Consultants or the famous economist of the central bank governor. "

Lin Yifu said that from developing countries, he can be able to study the theory and policy of leadership of the most important international development institution in the World Bank. In fact, China has gained poverty after reform and opening up, achieved achievements, and was affirmed. With such qualifications.

Lin Yifu said that the economy across the Taiwan Straits is highly complementary, and the economic cooperation between the two sides of the strait is both advantage.At present, Taiwan's income level is higher than the mainland. The mainland has a large market. If cross -strait economic and trade can cooperate closely, the market in mainland China will be an important opportunity for Taiwan's development.Cross -strait cooperation is a process of mutual benefit and win -win. The further development of the mainland will also obtain more development momentum such as markets and technology.The current cross -strait relations are complicated and severe, and the exchange of youth on both sides of the strait has also been hindered. How should young people on both sides of the strait view the prospects of cross -strait integration and peace and unity?

Lin Yifu said that national rejuvenation is our common wish, and the trend of history is mighty. Young people on both sides of the strait should work together to break the deadlock, contribute to national rejuvenation, and provide a good stage for personal development.

The theme of 2022 The Cross -Strait Youth Summit is based on the theme of "Jogging in the New Age of Youth Entrusted".Hosted by the people's government.
