Main points of these essays are summarized as follows.

1.New Global Economic Changes and New Prospects of Emerging Economies According to World Economic Outlook issued by the International Monetary Fund in October, 2017, The upward trend of the world economy has markedly strengthened and the forecast of world economic growth in the next two years has been raised. Moreover, the world economic recovery remains unaccomplished, and economy growth of many countries remains sluggish. Meanwhile, global challenges are increasing, with the rise of deglobalization trend, bringing the emerging economies new challenges for development and cooperation. As emerging economies play a positive leading role in the formation process of new international economic order, a real new international economic order is forming quickly. Yuan Zhitian from the Party School of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of CPC and Yuan Jiewei from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics considered that the new international economic order was a new international economic cooperation system of multi-leading and parallel division. With the similar development goals and stages, the parallel division system established by the new international economic order can bring better development opportunities for emerging economies. Meanwhile, with the differences of national historical culture and basic national conditions, the new international economic order will face more complicated problems concerning rules which will be the biggest challenge of emerging economies. Meanwhile, the problems in emerging economies such as polarization, institutional innovation and sustainable development add uncertainty to the prospect. The scholars emphasized the cooperation and win-win among emerging economies. Sun Zhenyu from China Society for World Trade Organization Studies analyzed the existed malpractice in postwar global economy governance. He highlighted that it had been unfair to the developing countries for a long time. But in terms of maintaining world peace, avoiding wars and promoting economic growth, the advantages outweigh disadvantages. Though multilateral trade system is facing challenges, it still has strong vitality. Emerging economies have confidence and ability to maintain multilateral trade system by the way of strengthening South-South cooperation and North-South dialogue. Sun Jin and Feng Yuyao both from School of International Trade and Economics of Central University of Finance and Economics carried out comparative analysis of the amount and quality of Asian-Pacific

It is more pronounced in developed countries, which is also the reason for them to advance the new generation of trade agreement rules. while limited by executive ability, signing the RTA under new rules had little effect on economic growth for developing countries. Liu Yao from Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Zhang Ming from Institute of World Economics and Politics of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences indicated that the sustainability of global current account rebalancing depended heavily on structural factor and all economies should work together to achieve balanced growth to achieve the economic interests of all countries. Li Linyue from School of International Trade and Economics of Central University of Finance and Economics discussed about business cycle co-movements, intra-industry trade structure and international policy coordination in East Asia. In general, the scholars believe China’s status and role. Zhou Zhiqiang from Shanghai International Studies University pointed out that China was the active advocate and practitioner for global development partnership. It constantly innovates international development cooperation mechanism and strived to build a new global partnership for development which served as an important path for it to involve and remodel international development cooperation. Luo Cheng from School of Finance of Guizhou University of Finance and Economics and Xiao Kangkang from School of International Relations and Public Administration of Fudan University discuss China’s new model of economic development and its guidance on emerging economies. Xie Hao from Nanjing Political College indicates that the globalization environment facing China’s economy is the contemporary performance of the world market starting with the discovery of geography. Such as how to “make all elements of society belong to myself”, China should have more its own definition when Participating in economic globalization led by capitalism. Zhang Zhiming from Liaoning University inspects China’s role in Asia-Pacific value chain. Du Qiang from Fujian Academy of Social Sciences discusses US withdrawal from “Paris Agreement” and China's response to climate-change strategies, he also indicates that China should respond to the expectations of the international society, taking the initiative to take the global leading role in tackling climate change and work together to establish a fair and reasonable international climate governance mechanism. Zhang Zhiming from Liaoning University comprehensively deconstructs Asia-Pacific value chain from value chain relations and status vertically and horizontally, and especially focuses on China’s role in Asia-Pacific value chain. Wei Xiaohui from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies analyzed the impact that China FDI has on African manufacturing development level based on international industry transfer .

2.Emerging Economies: Status and Prospect of Sustainable Development The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the United Nations took effect officially in January, 2016. The agenda calls on countries taking actions and working hard to achieve 17 sustainable development goals in the next 15 years. Viewing development as the top priority, emerging economies should further strengthen cooperation and solidarity so as to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

15 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table The formulation of the 2030 Agenda marks that understanding of people to development has reached a new altitude, which sets up ambitious goals for sustainable development from three dimensions: achieving economic development, social inclusion and environmental sustainability by good governance. Zhang Jiaolong from China Foreign Affairs University indicates that BRICS should continually seek converging interests, increase the force of cooperation and improve the status and the voice of developing countries in order to promote global governance to a more fair and rational direction. Shen Huaqiao(Sichuan International Studies University)chooses China and Brazil, and compares the realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the two countries based on strategic docking. She also points out that it is necessary for China and Brazil to make exchange and cooperation on implementing the Agenda for Sustainable Development and share their experience on implementing the goal of sustainable development to achieve interconnected development.

Based on the current situation of the supply and demand of the global economic governance systems, they discusses the problem of effective system supply shortage reflected by the change of system supply and demand. It is proposed that Emerging Economies should strengthen cooperation and push for institutional reform, and take "The Belt and Road" as a breakthrough and actively carry out the path of institutional innovation. Chen Benchang from Liaoning University makes a comparative analysis of the viewpoints of Douglass C. North, Zhang Yuyan and Daron Acemoglu on the system, explores ways and incentives for developing countries to achieve sustainable development and overcome the middle-income trap. Influence of changes in government functions on trade facilitation and intellectual property protection had been mentioned by Lin Jue and Peng Dongdong both from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Based on system theory and social capital theory, Wu Xiaojie, Tan Xiaoxia and Zeng hua of Guangdong University of Technology take regulatory differences and cultural differences as the moderating variables and social capital as the intermediary variable to explore the influence of the regional system quality of home country on the entry mode of Chinese private enterprises into overseas market. Renata Thiebaut of Shanghai Jiao Tong University discusses international law and sustainable development. Indian tax issues are discussed by Badar Alam Iqbal and Farha Naaz Ghauri from Aligarh Muslim University. The issue of foreign trade has attracted much attention.

Ma Wenxiu, Meng Tong of Hebei University discusses China's export competitiveness and potential of manufactured goods to emerging markets in Latin America. Nei Ling, Chen Shiwen of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies analyze China's position in the value chain of Asia-Pacific countries by deconstructing the added value of major manufacturing products in 2001 and 2014 and calculated GH index. It is pointed out that China's contribution to the added value of manufacturing products in Asia-Pacific countries (regions) has increased significantly, and its contribution to the added value of manufacturing products in most Asia-Pacific countries (regions) has greatly surpassed the United States and Japan, and China's influence on the Asia-Pacific value chain has gradually increased. In the manufacturing value chain of Asia-Pacific countries and regions, China's position has increased significantly. China's position with the United States, Japan and other countries in the Asia-Pacific manufacturing value chain gets closer. Therefore, China has a great advantage in the Asia-Pacific value chain competition and it has a solid foundation to reconstruct the Asia-Pacific value chain. Pierre van der Eng of The Australian National University discusses the trade imbalance between China and Indonesia from 2001 to 2016. Ming YE of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) discusses the path of the export value chain promotion of Emerging Economies.

It was pointed out that the global economic governance structure should be optimized through complementarity and mutual promotion of the old and new mechanisms. On the basis of strength, we should cultivate the support force and enhance the appeal and influence of China's economic proposition. In the construction of platform, we should give full play to the role of pragmatic mechanisms and enhance China's capacity of negotiation on issues and rules. In terms of agenda setting, we should stick to the main line of economic development, focus on promoting The Belt and Road construction, and improve China's ability to lead the agenda. In terms of risk prevention, we should actively participate in regional and cross-regional economic cooperation, build economic security protection networks in key countries and regions, and improve China's ability to control systemic risks.

Based on the framework of modern barrow endogenous growth model, Jiang Wei of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies empirically investigates the effect of ASEAN infrastructure development on economic growth by using Sys-GMM method and using the panel data of seven ASEAN countries from 1993 to 2015. Zhou Yujiao discusses the appropriate factors, division of labor and the coordinated development of regional economy in large developing countries.

3.The Belt and Road: Construction Theory, Policy and Practice The Belt and Road initiative proposed by China provides a new platform and opportunity for cooperation among Emerging Economies. Over the past four years, many emerging economies have actively supported and participated in the development of The Belt and Road and have reached a series of practical cooperation agreements with China on The Belt and Road. The successful hosting of Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in May 2017 marked the new development stage of Emerging Economies cooperation under the framework of The Belt and Road construction. Scholars affirms the significance of The Belt and Road initiative. Cai Hongbo of Beijing Normal University and Che Maoli of Beijing University connect the Marx poles of the prophecies with "Asiatic mode of production", digging deep into the "one belt and one road" in Marx's classic exposition, from the three aspects of world outlook, values and methodology, it is clear that the strategic concept of "one belt and one road" is the latest achievement of Sinicization of Marx doctrine, and is a great enrichment to the theoretical system of Marx with Chinese characteristics. Huang Jian and Huang Weiping of Renmin University of China believe that the project docking is the starting point for the implementation of The Belt and Road initiative, which is of great significance for China to channel abundant production capacity and realize the "going out" of Chinese capital. Yu Longyu of Shenzhen University proposes to guide the construction of the Belt And Road with five concepts: "The people are the foundation of the state", "the golden mean", "harmony without uniformity", "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you", and "great harmony under heaven". He believes that The Belt and Road will be the path of friendship, peace and happiness, and it will certainly usher in a new era of human civilization. Cai Chunlin of Guangdong University of Technology points out that the successful implementation of The Belt and Road can gradually bring the world economy into the recovery track, draw global attention to development issues, and create a new model of "embedded" governance of the global economy. Zhou Zhongfei of the institute of Taiwan studies in Shanghai and Hung bo of Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany points out that in the process of China's participation in the interaction of the global economic system, the introduction of the Belt and Road strategy is adopted as the initiative for China to grasp the construction of regional economic system and strengthen the cooperation platform between China and emerging economies. Jiang Xinhai of Guangdong University of Technology has reflected on many interesting difficulties in global governance and put forward a new idea of establishing a global governance model. Based on the characteristics and internal requirements of the world economic growth, the Belt and Road initiative of China is coupled with the world economic growth. Understanding the coupling relationship between them will help us to understand the contribution of China's the Belt and Road initiative to the interconnected growth of the world economy.

18 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table The Belt and Road Initiative highlights China's position on risk aversion. Hu Jian of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences stresses that the construction of the Belt and Road faces various risks which includes political risk, economic risk, religious risk, cultural risk, ethnic and racial risk, geographical risk and project risk. However, as the Belt and Road Initiative has a good social foundation, a solid material foundation and a strong capacity foundation, it certainly has a bright future. Xie Jiashu and Cai Dongli of South China University of Technology holds that The Belt and Road project is a Chinese project of international cooperation to solve the three major deficits. Zhang Guo of Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture and Feng Hua of Beijing Jiaotong University points out that the research on countries and relevant provinces, multi-disciplinary research as well as external cooperation and exchanges need to be strengthened in the future research. Jing Baixiang of Guangdong Peizheng College points out that the research on the countries along the line and the relevant provinces at home, multidisciplinary research and cooperation and exchanges with foreign countries need to be strengthened. The implementation of "the Belt and Road" project is both a material criticism of political economy and a cultural criticism. In the process of promoting the integration of material and culture between the east and the west, the transcendence of ideas and the transformation of thinking will be realized, and the scientific nature of Chinese culture will be brought into the development process. The awareness of civilization of public interest will make up for the deficiency of utilitarian culture. Zhang Qing of Sichuan International Studies University conducts an analysis based on the dimensions of history, policy and reality. As the top national strategy of China today, the connection between the Belt and Road and Latin America has historical, policy and realistic basis. From the practice aspect, "the Belt and Road" Initiative has made indelible contribution to the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure in economies along the belt and road. According to Yang Baorong of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, African state-owned enterprises should be an important object of China's industrial cooperation under "the Belt and Road" Initiative, based on the market environment and industrial chain characteristics of Africa. The docking of industrial cooperation with African state-owned enterprises is an important manifestation of realizing the strategic goal of China-Africa cooperation and practicing the concept of "community of shared future". Taking Guangdong Hai Da Group as an example, Yang Xueru of South China Agricultural University and Li Jun of Guangdong University of Technology analyze the strategic selection, implementation process and consequences of enterprise international cooperation (entrepreneurship), summarize its characteristics, experience and challenges, and provide beneficial reference for enterprise international cooperation (entrepreneurship). Huang Manying and Deng Xiaohong of Capital Normal University and Beijing Union University compare and analyze the competitiveness of China's financial service trade with the countries and regions along the "the Belt and Road", and found that most countries and regions along the "the Belt and Road" Initiative are not competitive in the financial service trade of cross-border delivery. Du Jianmin of Guangdong University of Technology makes an empirical study on the relationship between the industrial structure of China's manufacturing industry and FDI. Gong Jing and Yin Zhongming of Chengdu University and North Minzu University study the influence mechanism and effect of industrial structure upgrading on the direct investment of countries along the "One Belt And One Road", taking China as a typical emerging power. Based on the comparative study of tourism development status of Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, Cao Ruidong of Wenzhou University analyzes the impact of China's "the Belt and Road" strategy on the three countries in southeast Asia, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of "the Belt and Road" Initiative, and summarize the attitudes of countries in this strategy. Zhang Shan of Guangdong University of Technology makes a quantitative analysis of the industrial concentration degree of advanced manufacturing in China from 2011 to 2015. Zhou Ye, Gao Weixin and Wang Xingfu of the

19 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table Open Universtiy of Zhanjiang and Guangdong Ocean University focus on the ocean industry of Zhanjiang city, realize the problems existing in the ocean economy and marine industrial structure of Zhanjiang city and put forward countermeasures, and provide beneficial exploration for promoting the ocean industry development of Zhanjiang city. In addition, the Belt and Road initiative plays an important role in strengthening economic and trade cooperation among countries. Jiang Yingmei of the Chinese Scademy of Social Sciences points out that two major structural contradictions in Iran's economic development, as well as the fact that U.S.-Iran relations and Iran's geopolitics are hard to change in the short term, making Iran's economic development still faced with uncertainties and complexities. Therefore, the future economic development of Iran will inevitably have an impact on the joint development of China and Iran. Zhang Jun and Zhong Xiangyue of Jinan University re-measure and analyze China's trade with "the Belt and Road" region from the perspective of value added trade accounting, and find that China's value added trade with "the Belt and Road" region is generally lower than the traditional trade accounting. Qian Xinbei and Huang Liangxiong of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies use the non-balanced panel data of 64 countries along the belt and road from 2003 to 2013 to build the measurement model, and analyze the impact of China's direct investment to countries along the belt and road on the infrastructure level of countries along the belt and road. Chen Zhangxi of Jinan University analyzes the complementarities and competitiveness between China and south Asian countries trade and concluded: China and South Asia's trade structure has certain competitive, but also has a lot of complementarities, mutual trade between variety is more, China's exports to South Asia to manufactured products is given priority to, south Asian exports to China mainly primary products and semi-finished products. Li Xia of CPC Tianjin Binhai New Area Committee Party School and Liao Zefang of Shanghai Ocean University took the countries along the 21st century maritime Silk Road as the host country and conducted an empirical analysis on the geographical distribution of China's outward investment (OFDI). Feng Kuo and Zhou Junnan of Central University of Finance and Economics analyzes the impact of trade impact on individual education decision making and human capital investment by building DSGE theoretical model. From the research of Si Qing and He Shuquan of Shanghai University, the proportion of foreign added value contained in China's final products is fluctuating and decreasing, and China's participation in the process of global division of labor is higher than that of regional division of labor.

4.BRICS Countries: Deepening Cooperation and Sustainable Development In the context of the slow recovery of the global economy, BRICS countries have gone through a more difficult stage of structural adjustment and transformation and development, resulting in the occasional appearance of "BRICS fading" rhetoric in the international community. BRICS cooperation is an important part of exploring new mechanisms for south-south cooperation. Deepening and institutionalizing the BRICS cooperation mechanism can explore new ways for developing countries to participate in international economic governance and promote common and sustainable development.

20 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table BRICS countries urgently need to innovate economic links and cooperation mechanisms and achieve economic development through good governance. Guan Xiuli of the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research put forward the following four points for the BRICs mechanism: strengthening the awareness of coordination of regulation and building consensus of institutional cooperation; consolidating the construction of "creation ability" and laying a solid foundation for institutional competition; controlling the right to make rules and holding the core of institutional governance; making good use of the international cooperation stage and enriching the practice of regulation and coordination. Xiong Qiquan of South China Agricultural University From the perspective of the relationship between BRICS countries and the global economy, this paper examines the differences in economic development performance of various countries. He believes that, starting from the huge differences in factor endowment structure and industrial height, extensive economic and trade cooperation should be carried out at the level of industrial chain in order to mitigate the negative impact of global resource price fluctuations on the overall economic strength of BRICS countries. Based on the perspective of economic growth quality, Peng Yue of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and Tian Zhongjing of Hainan Normal University conducts a comparative study on the government performance of China and India through dynamic model, and find that China's government performance is significantly higher than India’s, and China is more deeply integrated into the global value chain than India. Pei Guifen of Hebei University studies the deindustrialization phenomenon and its formation mechanism in the early stage of Russia's transition. He thinks that Russia's deindustrialization stems from its special trade structure and reform plan of shock therapy. Yu Chunhui and Wang Jing of Jiaying University have made an in-depth analysis of the environmental audit practice in India, and combined with the problems existing in the development of environmental audit in China, they put forward relevant suggestions from angles of development of environmental audit guidelines, the acceleration of environmental audit research and personnel training. Yaroslav Lissovolik of the Eurasian development bank believes that the creation of the “BRICS +” is an important way to overcome the limitations for the development of BRICS countries. It is of great significance to thoroughly study the development needs of countries, and to formulate differentiated policies and realize inclusive growth. Huo Jianguo of China Society for World Trade Organization makes an in-depth analysis of the prospects of BRICs' economic and trade cooperation, and points out that China should shoulder the important task of promoting

21 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table cooperation and development, play an active role in actively promoting BRICs' economic and trade cooperation, and further enhance BRICs' overall competitiveness in the international market, and promote the effective docking of BRICs and the "one belt and one road" initiative and explore a new mechanism for South South cooperation. Li Xin and Hu Beibei from Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS) show a possible“roadmap”: BRICS should move toward the goal of synergy of China's Belt and Road Initiative with the development strategies of other BRICS countries, the connectivity by land, air and sea of infrastructure, the integrated markets of software facilities, and the multi-tiered network of financial support for economic partnerships. Professor Cai Chunlin from Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT) reckons the BRICS countries should maintain strategic mutual trust and stability. Based on strengthening internal relations, we should deepen and consolidate existing cooperation mechanisms. Meanwhile, pursuing the open corporatism, BRICS countries should have concentric circular ring cooperation uniformly to other countries through“BRICS PLUS” cooperation, and have actively interactions with existing multilateral and regional cooperation mechanism. Lin Lefen and Chen Yan from Nanjing Agricultural University analyze trade effects of China's direct investment in other BRICS countries. Kunming University of Science and Technology studies the impact of China's direct investment on host countries from the perspectives of host country and investment country, and constructs China's investment strategy in Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) from an inclusive perspective. Li Fangchao from GDUT makes a detailed analysis of the competitive and cooperative relationship between China and India by using the export similarity index, trade competitiveness index, the dominant comparative advantage index, and the trade combination index. José Nelson Bessa Maia from Secretariat of International Affairs deems that the BRICS countries have the capacity to resolve differences and build trust through candid dialogue among the member states, who can strengthen economic interaction and grow together as well. The sustainable development of BRICS countries could be a strong driving force for world economic growth. Li Hongjie and Huang Qicai from Fujian Academy of Social Sciences supposes that strengthening the construction of the BRICS free trade area is necessary for global development, the building of BRICS cooperation mechanism, the economic growth of the BRICS countries and the Belt and Road initiative. We should take the BRICS free trade area as the starting point and focus of the Belt and Road Initiative, promote the establishment of a china-centered BRICS free trade area network in all aspects, and then influence other countries along the Belt and Road Initiative. From the perspective of BRICS countries, Wang Shaoyuan, Li Guopeng and Wang Wenliang from Dongbei University of Finance and Economics and Dalian Minzu University discuss the economic feasibility of building regional value chains in BRICS countries based on the improved RCA index. He argues that in the process of building the RVC among BRICS countries, the following factors should be taken into full consideration: the effective balance of dual circulation of GVC and RVC, the unceasing advance of BRICS cooperation mechanism, the gradual strengthening of multilevel connectivity among BRICS countries, the establishment of RVC performance appraisal system, the dominant role that China attempts to play, etc. Luo Jia from Jiangxi Normal University points out that to promote the deeper integration and cooperation of BRICs capital markets, the negative effects should be effectively eliminated and the sustainability of the capital market liberalization should be enhanced. We should explore new areas of cooperation and stimulate the internal impetus of capital market cooperation, as well as construct the new cross-border cooperative mechanism and deepen practical cooperation of Federation of Exchanges. Cai Xiaotong and Guo Xiaojing from University of International Business and Economics prove that the real effective exchange rate has different impact on FDI inflows in BRICS countries, and the degree and direction of impact are also different. They believe that this is mainly due to the great differences in investment industries and environment of different countries. Li Jieling

22 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table of Guangdong University of Technology conducts an empirical study on the factors influencing BRICS’ scientific and technological innovation capacity. Ruan Hongwei of Qingdao University evaluates the BRICS innovation capability by variation coefficient method, and studies the relationship between BRICS innovation capability and industrial structure upgrading by way of gray correlation analysis. Irina Yarygina and Galina Panova from Moscow Institute of State Relations indicates that BRICS countries have the characteristics of significant government intervention in the banking industry, which helped them overcome the global financial crisis and the banking crisis during 2007-2009 .

5.Conclusion In general, the paper's mainstream view is that emerging economies have begun to recover in 2017 after a slump in 2016, and growth is expected to pick up in 2018. However, the consensus on the benefits of globalization is weakening, major policy shifts are causing global imbalances to widen and exchange rate movements to intensify, and new regulations of trade protectionism to curb migration will seriously affect the economic recovery of emerging economies. With the impact of economic vulnerability of emerging economies, geopolitical risks and various other non-economic factors, emerging economies still face cyclical and structural challenges. We should actively resolve relevant risks, manage expectations well and convey the confidence of emerging economies in strong growth to the world. By taking the opportunity of advancing the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and taking advantage of the Belt and Road Initiative, we will further promote sustainable development, guide the steady development of emerging economies, and contribute development experience and driving force for growth to the world.

Guangdong's Reform and Opening ＆ A Community of Shared Future for Mankind

On the afternoon of October 16, 2018, the 2018 Guangdong Social Science Academic Annual Meeting (Seventh Session), themed on “ A Community of Shared Future for Mankind”, was held at Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT Longdong Campus). The conference was hosted by Guangdong Federation of Social Sciences, and undertaken by Guangdong Emerging Economies Society, GDUT Federation of Social Sciences, Guangzhou Research Center for Technology Innovation and Economic Transition, and School of Economics and Commerce, Guangdong University of Technology. More than 70 papers were received for this conference, which was attended by over 200 people. Among them are the leading figures of Guangdong Federation of Social Sciences, Guangdong Emerging Economies Society and some government institutions. There were also many experts, scholars, teachers and students form local universities like Sun Yat-Sen University, Jinan University, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, South China University of Technology, Guangdong University of Technology and so on. Wang Xiao, Party Secretary and Chairman of Guangdong Federation of Social Sciences, and Professor Zhang Guangyu, Vice President of Guangdong University of Technology delivered the remarks respectively. In addition, the speakers giving keynote speech included Professor Xia Quan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Jinan University, Professor Wang Tinghui, Vice President of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, Professor Li Shenglan, Vice President of Lingnan College, Sun Yat-Sen University, Professor Xiao Kuixi, deputy dean of the School of Economics and Trade, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. Professor Zhang Chengke, Professor Cai Chunlin and other 16 experts and scholars at Guangdong raised some topics and made host address. The entire conference was solemn and enthusiastic, and it has achieved fruitful academic achievements. The speeches and main points of the conference are summarized below.

I Guangdong Economic Reform and a Community of Shared Future for Mankind. Reform and opening up is the most beautiful name card of Guangdong, and it is also the heart and soul of Guangdong. Guangdong is at the forefront of reform and opening up, which is Guangdong's early exploration for the construction of a community of shared future for mankind. Wang Xiao, Chairman of Guangdong Federation of Social Sciences, pointed out in her remark that the important strategic idea of building a community of a shared future for mankind proposed by General Secretary Xi brings Chinese solutions to the issues on human development and the future of the world. It also conforms to the trend of the times: Peace, development and win-win cooperation. Since the reform and opening up, Guangdong has also

24 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table achieved leap-forward development in countries along the Maritime Silk Road, such as ASEAN, East Asia and South Pacific countries, and has created new advantages in opening up to the outside world. Guangdong has also participated in and made positive contributions to the construction of the community of a shared future for mankind. We must take Xi Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era as the guide, adhere to the correct political direction and academic orientation, and give full play to the role of the think tank. It is necessary to enhance theoretical research and elaboration, strive to improve research capabilities, to tap the era value, ideological connotation, and realization path of this contemporary issue: a community of a shared future for mankind, and to continue to enrich and develop relevant theories in practice. At the same time, we must be problem-oriented, conducting meaningful inspections deeply and paying attention to those forward-looking and prejudging researches, so that we can put forward constructive and creative theoretical findings, and constantly improve Guangdong's international voice. Professor Zhang Guangyu, Vice-president of Guangdong University of Technology, said in his speech that the current international power has undergone profound changes. The dominant position of Western countries in the international structure has been constantly weakened, while emerging countries and a large number of developing countries have achieved a rapid development and increasing international influence, which constitutes the most revolutionary change in modern era in terms of the international power comparison. The international community urgently needs a further reform of the global governance system so as to bring forward a new governance idea to lead and build a more just and reasonable international governance system. In Guangdong, we are now discussing how Guangdong can achieve the goal of “ahead the country in four aspects” better and faster under the call of building“a community of shared future for mankind”. This will have far-reaching significance for Guangdong to deepen economic reform and opening up, to participate in the "Belt and Road Initiative", and in particular to build a comprehensive and new opening-up system. Professor Xia Quan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Jinan University, made a keynote speech on “The starting point of governing the country: Xi Jinping's stay in Liang Jiahe”. From the perspective of history, he explored Xi Jinping's vision of a community of a shared future for mankind. He rendered that building a community of a shared future for mankind was an important part of Xi Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, and it took root in Liang Jiahe, then growing big to China and even the world. This vision suggested China's wisdom and brought Chinese solutions to promote and improve global governance. Luo Xueming from Guangzhou Party Institute of CPC pointed out that the previous round of reforms have achieved a one-way process of the production relations back to productive force through the adjustment of the interest structure. In the same wya, comprehensively deepening reform in the new era must complete a more complex two-way process between the production relations and the imbalanced productive forces. Guo Yong from Foshan Party Institute of CPC believes that when dealing with the relationship between government and the market, we should proceed from Guangdong's actual situations and let the two "hands" fully

25 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table play their roles. We must fortify our confidence in the socialist path, and insist on guiding the Guangdong economy with Xi Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era. Wu Zhaochun from Guangzhou Party Institute of CPC systematically talked about the top-level system design, the management system, and research finding commercialization of scientific and technological innovation, and the construction of its ecosystem, which shed some lights on the development of science and technology in Guangdong so as to achieve new achievements in the new era. Wu Shijian from the Peasant Movement Training Institute introduced Ye Jianying's active exploration and deployment of Guangdong's development strategy and promoted Guangdong's first step in the practice of reform and opening up. He believed that Guangdong is a microcosm of the country's reform and opening up, and its in-depth development will provide valuable experience for the great practices of the socialism with Chinese characteristics and the community of a shared future for mankind.

II The Opening up of Guangdong and a Community of Shared Future for Mankind Advancing with the times, carrying out the policy of opening to the outside world, and better integrating into the pattern of world economic integration is an important path for a country or region to size up the situation and achieve faster and better development in line with real conditions. In the new era, we will continue to deepen reform, expand opening up and build a community with a shared future for mankind, which is the only path for Guangdong Province to fully implement the strategic goal of reform and opening up and Guangdong’s “Four at the Forefront of the Country”. Professor Wang Tinghui, Vice President of Guangdong University of Finance & Economics, gave a keynote speech on “Promoting the Opening up of the World Economy and Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind”. She observes and thinks about some basic problems of a community with a shared future for mankind from three interrelated terms, namely, communication, externality and opening up. She believes that if we get the hang of the concept of Verkehr in The German Ideology by Marx and Engels, we can grasp the fundamental trend of the development of human interaction and a fundamental way to resolve the problems generated from negative externalities in the development of human interaction, which is to build a community with a shared future for mankind. In the pattern of opening wider, deeper, faster and larger, Guangdong not only promotes world exchanges, opens up the world economy and builds a community with a shared future for mankind in respect of opening up, but also achieves two wheel drive: opening up and reform, making new ground in opening up, reform and mutual promotion and also forming a very good dynamic system of mutual promotion. Professor Wang appealed that we must find ways to further make China’s voice heard and make contribution to the world. As long as we are committed to the principles of consultation, contribution, shared benefits, and win-win, and work together, the irreversible historical trend of building a community with a shared future for mankind will surely show up. Professor Li Shenglan, Deputy Director of Lingnan College of Sun Yat-sen University, analyzed the background and impact of Sino-US trade friction in the keynote speech on “The Current Economic Situation Report. ” He believes that Sino-US trade friction will have a greater impact on exports, capital markets and technological innovation at the macro level, and at the micro level it will mainly influence enterprises and people’s life. He put forward the following suggestions on how to deal with the Sino-US trade deficit. First, accelerate the transformation of growth engines. We need to expand the international market, increase exports to Europe, Russia and BRICS countries, increase the support for domestic consumption, accelerate the pace of urbanization and regional space construction and promote innovation driven and high-quality economic development. Second, in the short term, it is necessary to reduce costs, reduce the tax burden of enterprises, and prevent exchange rate fluctuations, and

26 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table give instructions to enterprises on settling foreign trade orders in RMB, thus reducing the impact of changes in the US dollar on the fluctuations of the RMB exchange rate. In addition, it is necessary to reduce financing costs and guide funds into the real economy. Third, in the long run, we must improve production efficiency. We must pay attention to the cultivation of talents, improve production efficiency, cultivate algorithmic talents, train digital skilled workers, reverse employment preferences and orientation, reshape the identity of new industrial workers, and greatly increase the income of workers. Fourth, we must build up confidence and forge reform consensus. First, 40 years of reform and opening up have accumulated sufficient material conditions and valuable experience. Second, the transformation of economic growth driver has begun, laying a steady foundation. Third, our technological innovation leads the world. Fourth, we can utilize the national strength to resolve financial and economic risks. Professor Zhou Yunyuan, from the Center for Studies of Hong Kong, Macau and Pearl River Delta of Sun Yat-Sen University, had some reflections on the theory of open development. He takes this as an example: Guangdong pioneers in reform and opening up and deepens cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao and the national Innovation Demonstration Zone in Shenzhen in the new era, saying that we should carry forward our cause into the future and continue to free minds, deepen cooperation, reform and opening up, and we will enjoy a brighter future. He believes that the sound development of China's overall economy, on one hand, stems from the practice of reform and opening up; on the other hand, it further enriches the content of reform and opening up. Further deepening reform and opening up will become an inevitable choice in China's modernization in the new era. China has successfully promoted the overall economic development through reform and opening up, which provides important reference significance for the world, especially for the developing countries to revitalize the national economy. Huang Qi and Wan Lei from the Party School and City Research Center of Dongguan Municipal Party Committee submitted a paper to the conference, arguing that the open practice under the guidance of open thinking is also a progressive ladder for seeking common interests of mankind and moving toward a community with a shared future for mankind, which shows that China assumes its responsibility in world missions. Guo Songke, Guan Miaozhen and Cui Yue, from Guangzhou University Sontian College, strived to find out a strategy to build Guangzhou into a “world city” in the paper submitted to the conference. They believe that in light of the disadvantages or weaknesses in the development of Guangzhou, targeted development strategies should be adopted, which include “Maintaining the status quo”, “Entry into the Fast Track”, “Corner Overtaking” and “City Marketing”. Li Jingrui, from Guangdong University of Technology submitted a conference paper. In it, he explores the impact mechanism of human capital on the increase of export technology complexity, from a perspective of domestic industrial structure upgrading and the evolution of international division of labor, and measures the impact effect by analyzing the panel data from 2000 to 2015 from 42 countries. Chen Yongjia, from Zhan Guo Ce international strategy individual studio, briefed on the friendly relations between China and Latin America. He believes that the building of a community with a shared future for

27 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table China-Latin should follow the principles of consultation, contribution and shared benefits, insist in the parallel development of bilateral cooperation and multilateral platform construction, support the comprehensive cooperation, and is in line with the trend of the times and the fundamental interests of the people of both China and Latin America.

III Guangdong Constructs a New System of Opening up Comprehensively Xiao Kuixi, associate professor of School of Economics and Trade of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, made a key-note speech whose topic was The Position and Policy Proposals of Guangdong in Promoting a New Pattern of Comprehensive Opening Up. He orientated Guangdong’s position in promoting a new pattern of comprehensive opening up from five aspects: First, Guangdong should be a leading city in the new round of comprehensive opening up. It should provide demonstrations and references for an upgraded version of China's open economy. We should regard the construction of high-standard free trade zone as an important grasp of open economy. Second, Guangdong should become an important hub of The Belt and Road Initiative. We should build an international aviation hub and gateway, then make it possible for Guangzhou—Shenzhen to compare with Shanghai, as a national hub and gateway. Third, we should seize the opportunity brought by promotion of revolution of science and technology. Guangdong should be pushed into our innovation center. In addition, we should build the international commercial center, R&D (Research & Development) center， manufacturing center and financial center, to stand out in the technology competition. Fourth, to lead the construction of Guangdong — Hong Kong — Macao Greater Bay Area, we should build international first-class bay areas and world-class urban groups, advancing win-win cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao. Fifth, we should provide a demonstration plot of balanced development for the world, achieving the goal of integrative growth of Pearl River Delta, eastern Guangdong and Western Guangdong. In addition, we should implement it in the guide of“one core one belt one zone”, accelerate regional coordinated development, and make eastern Guangdong and Western Guangdong new poles of growth using Pearl River Delta as the core. Chen Zhangxi, professor of college of economics of Jinan University has stated in his speech named Construction of Guangdong — Hong Kong — Macao Greater Bay Area in a community with a shared future of mankind that the later is an important support for the former. It is an action in national basis, which is highly significant in national regional development strategy. As for the new opportunity that brought by the construction of Greater Bay Area, he thought: First, it will tremendously improve the area’s level of opening up. The construction will benchmark other bay areas in the world. We are willing to build a bay area which is open-minded, first-rate and world-class. Thus, opening up is a proper idea for the construction of the big bay area in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. Second, it will facilitate the flow of factors of production in bay areas. Currently, due to customs restrictions, the flow of three places, and people, things, money and information has been limited greatly. Therefore, to promote the development of the flow of factors will promote the integration of Hong Kong and Macao Bay area of the Bay Area. Third, it can make the construction of the free trade area play a leading role better. By the platform of The Belt and Road Initiative, we construct offshore industrial cooperation parks and develop cooperation about international industries, which will promote opening up and give play to the leading role of the free trade area. Fourth, it will promote great bay areas’ technology innovation and improvement. Now, the three largest bay areas in the world are strengthening scientific and technological innovation, thus there is no doubt that Guangdong—Hong Kong—Macao Greater Bay Area will influence scientific and technological innovation of Great Bay Area in this process. And it will also help develop the science and technology of great bay areas.

28 Agenda for BRICS Think Tank Symposium 2018, the 26th Wanshou Forum & the 6th Emerging Economies Think Tank Round Table Jing Baixiang, professor of Guang Dong Peizheng College, has made a speech named Evaluate all value systems with a community with a shared future of mankind. He started with interaction and contradiction between two value systems — capitalism and socialism, then analyzed and concluded three points: Progress of science and technology changes material conditions of human destiny; International division of labor brings about the convergence of human destiny; Economic globalization unites human destinies into a whole. He eloquently demonstrated that all the destinies could be evaluated by common fate in aspects of classical philosophy and basic principles of Marxism and explained the importance of building a community with a shared future of mankind under the globalization background.
