HAIKOU, China, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Hainan International Media Center:
In Haikou on April 16thAt the 6th China International Consumer Products Expo, a book launch event was held to celebrate the release of the China Development Report 2025 and the World Development Report 2025, as well as a brainstorming dialogue on the theme of high-quality development of Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP). The books record China’s development process, provide a comprehensive overview of global development, and give the international community a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of China and the world’s development trends.
The China Development Report 2025 reports on the achievements of China’s economic and social development in 2024 and also includes four important research findings from the Development Research Center of the State Council (ROC), while the World Development Report 2025 addresses the main concerns of the international community, presents remaining certainties and favorable conditions, and explores a comprehensive approach as well as specific paths to promote global stability and sustainable development.
Since 2023, the global influence of the two reports has grown significantly, reaching several developed countries and the Global South, as well as major international organizations, international think tanks, large multinational corporations, political figures, renowned economists, prestigious universities and museums around the world. They have also been collected by many national Party and government institutions, universities and research institutes, enterprises, industry associations, overseas embassies and consulates, and other Chinese-funded institutions. The reports have been presented at major conferences, renowned international and national book fairs and important international forums, and have been established as think tank publications and public knowledge products with considerable international influence.
During the think tank dialogue, experts exchanged views and offered targeted opinions and suggestions on how to better leverage the role of think tanks and contribute more wisdom and strength to the high-quality development of Hainan FTP.
The DRC, a high-end national think tank, has published the two reports every year since 2023. The DRC think tank will also collaborate with the Southland think tank to conduct research on major issues regarding the high-quality development, institutional opening-up and coordinated regional development of the Hainan FTP.
