I've been aware of CIFIT for quite some time now. I think it presents an image of a reformed and opened-up China, and conveys the desire for world economic cooperation and harmonious development. It will help mutual opening up and development between the different economies in the world. This is why so many international economic organizations are joining CIFIT.
