In response to reality, the BRI resolves problems in development

发展是解决一切问题的总钥匙，经济全球化为世界经济发展提供了强大动力。500多年前，在古丝绸之路中断半个多世纪后，大航海时代来临，根本改变了人类社会的发展格局。

Development holds the master key to solving all problems. Economic globalization has given strong momentum to the world economy. Over 500 years ago, after the ancient silk routes had been interrupted for more than a half century, the Age of Discovery arrived, fundamentally changing the course of human society.

近代以来，随着科技革命和生产力的发展，经济全球化成为历史潮流。特别是20世纪90年代后，经济全球化快速发展，促进了贸易大繁荣、投资大便利、人员大流动、技术大发展，为人类社会发展进步作出重要贡献。

Since the advent of modern times, technological revolutions and development of the productive forces have made economic globalization a surging historical trend. In particular, since the 1990s, the rapid advance of economic globalization has greatly facilitated trade, investment, flows of people, and technological progress, making an important contribution to the progress of human society.

但是，少数国家主导的经济全球化，并没有实现普遍普惠的发展，而是造成富者愈富、贫者愈贫，发达国家和发展中国家以及发达国家内部的贫富差距越来越大。很多发展中国家在经济全球化中获利甚微甚至丧失自主发展能力，难以进入现代化的轨道。个别国家大搞单边主义、保护主义、霸权主义，经济全球化进程遭遇逆流，世界经济面临衰退风险。

However, the economic globalization dominated by a few countries has not contributed to the common development that delivers benefits to all. Instead, it has widened the wealth gap between rich and poor, between developed and developing countries, and within developed countries. Many developing countries have benefited little from economic globalization and even lost their capacity for independent development, making it hard for them to access the track of modernization. Certain countries have practiced unilateralism, protectionism and hegemonism, hampering economic globalization and threatening a global economic recession. 

全球经济增长动能不足、全球经济治理体系不完善、全球经济发展失衡等问题，迫切需要解决；世界经济发展由少数国家主导、经济规则由少数国家掌控、发展成果被少数国家独享的局面，必须得到改变。

It is imperative to address such global problems as sluggish economic growth, shortcomings in economic governance, and imbalanced economic development. It is no longer acceptable that only a few countries dominate world economic development, control economic rules, and enjoy development fruits.
