The world needs a strong Chinese economy, and its domestic market still offers "massive opportunities," particularly in the clean energy, digital technology and advanced materials sectors, David Bach, incoming president of the world-renowned business school International Institute for Management Development (IMD), has said.
世界知名商學院瑞士洛桑國際管理發展學院（IMD）即將上任的院長大衛·巴赫表示，世界需要強大的中國經濟，而中國國內市場仍然提供著"巨大的機遇"，尤其是在清潔能源、數字技術和先進材料領域。

China, as an increasingly wealthy economy, faces a number of challenges, Bach, who will assume the presidency of the IMD in September, told Xinhua during a program at the IMD in Lausanne, Switzerland. "I'm hoping that China can tackle those challenges effectively, and then sustain its growth for many, many years to come because the world needs a strong China, needs growth in China."
巴赫將于9月出任洛桑國際管理發展學院院長，他在洛桑國際管理發展學院的一個活動中告訴新華社，中國是一個日益繁榮的經濟體，但也面臨著一些挑戰。“希望中國能夠有效應對這些挑戰，并在未來許多年保持增長，因為世界需要一個強大的中國，需要中國經濟的增長。”

"At China's level of development, we should be seeing a shift from being a manufacturing-based to being service-based economy, from being primarily export-oriented to one increasingly focusing on the domestic consumer market," said Bach, highlighting the role that Chinese digital companies play in economic transformation.
巴赫表示：“就中國的發展而言，我們應該看到從制造業為主的經濟向服務業為主的經濟轉變，從以出口為主的經濟向越來越注重國內消費市場的經濟轉變。”他強調了中國互聯網公司在經濟轉型中發揮的作用。

China's combination of the ability to innovate and scale up in a large domestic market is something that most developed countries do not have, which brings enormous opportunity, he added. "Just by developing its domestic market and bringing more people into the modern economy it has built, it can drive growth. That's a massive opportunity."
巴赫補充道，中國將創新能力和開拓巨大國內市場的結合，這是大多數發達國家所沒有的，這帶來了巨大的機遇。“僅僅通過發展國內市場并將更多人納入其已建立的現代經濟中，中國就能推動增長。這是一個巨大的機會。”

In May, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised its forecast for China's GDP growth in 2024 to 5 percent from the April projection of 4.6 percent, driven by a strong first-quarter GDP growth in 2024 and recent policy measures.
5月，國際貨幣基金組織將2024年中國經濟增長預期從4月份的4.6%上調至5%，這得益于2024年第一季度中國國內生產總值的強勁增長和最新的政策措施。

China's economic development over the past few decades has been remarkably driven by market-oriented reforms, trade liberalization and integration into global supply chains, according to the IMF.
國際貨幣基金組織表示，過去幾十年，中國的經濟發展受到市場化改革、貿易自由化和融入全球供應鏈的顯著推動。
