From December 2nd to 4th, the 2024 Understanding China Conference (Guangzhou) is being held in Guangzhou. Distinguished guests from China and abroad will engage in discussions and idea exchanges around the theme "Carrying through the reform to the end: Chinese modernization and new opportunities for world development." The Understanding China Conference is one of the most influential platforms for the world to approach, observe, and comprehend China. Since its inception in 2013, the conference has spanned 11 years. For the international community, "Understanding China" is becoming increasingly significant.

To understand China, the key lies in understanding Chinese modernization. China is advancing the noble cause of building a great country and national rejuvenation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization, and promoting the creation of a community with a shared future for mankind. China's future is closely linked with the future of the entire humanity. China is committed to working hand in hand with the rest of the world to realize global modernization that features peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and prosperity for all.

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) serves as an excellent vantage point for understanding China and Chinese modernization. As one of the most open and economically vibrant regions in China, the GBA is a hub of reform, openness, innovation, interconnectivity, technological self-reliance, green development, and coordinated urban-rural development, all of which exhibit strong vitality and dynamism. Delegates who visit and experience the development story of the GBA will undoubtedly gain a more direct and profound understanding of Chinese modernization.

The Understanding China Conference aspires to present a true, multi-dimensional and panoramic view of China to the global public. The conference aims to vividly narrate the stories of Chinese modernization in Guangzhou, the GBA, and China as a whole, contributing to promoting exchanges and cooperation between China and the rest of the world, achieving common development and prosperity, and advancing a community with a shared future for mankind.
