Cao Li, Deputy Director and Professor of the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School of China (National School of Administration):
For border areas, high-quality development is the fundamental way to common prosperity. Accelerating the opening up of border areas and promoting a high level of opening up is the only way to revitalize border areas and enrich people and stabilize border areas. At the new historical starting point, it is of great significance and practical significance to systematically evaluate the border opening. The evaluation of border opening is helpful to find out the current situation of opening up, analyze the existing problems, and put forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions.
In recent years, the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) has organized a team of experts to continuously study the issue of border opening. The border opening indicator system released this time has built a four level indicator system of "1+4+12+31" from the four dimensions of openness, open infrastructure, open platform and business environment, giving consideration to the current openness and the potential of future openness. Judging from the evaluation results of border opening, the overall situation of border provinces' opening up is better. After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the opening up along the border has generally improved. The opening index from high to low is: Liaoning, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Gansu and Tibet. The next step will be to continue to deepen research and track the level of openness and common prosperity of border provinces.
Zhao Ai, Executive Vice President and Secretary General of China Economic Reform Research Association:
Opening up along the border is a big article, realizing common prosperity in border areas is also a big article, and opening up along the border+common prosperity is a bigger article. There are a lot of things to do to do well in this article. One of the important contents is to improve the people's livelihood in border areas, and ensure and improve the people's livelihood.
Ensuring and improving the people's livelihood is an urgent task for solidly promoting common prosperity. We need to deepen the reform of education, social security system, childbearing and elderly care system, and social governance.

Wang Bin, Associate Professor of the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the CPC Central Party School (National School of Administration) and Deputy Director of the Government Economic Management Teaching and Research Office:
The most arduous and arduous task of common prosperity is in the countryside, and the mountain area is the main battlefield of China's agricultural and rural modernization to complement the strengths and weaknesses. To promote the common prosperity of the mountainous counties along the border areas, we should fundamentally accelerate development and promote the common prosperity of the border areas by leapfrog development. We should work hard on channel construction and business environment, further expand the openness of the mountainous counties along the border, accurately position industrial and urban development, give play to the advantages of location and resource endowment, and transform the development potential and advantages from the end of opening to the front of opening; We should further strengthen efforts to solve the common problems of common prosperity in mountainous areas from the aspects of systematic planning, policy convergence, and precise support; Considering the national border security strategy, we should strengthen the special policies for the border villages in border counties, especially in infrastructure, finance and finance; It is necessary to explore, integrate and promote a number of typical cases of common prosperity and initiative in mountain areas, strengthen the mutual exchange mechanism, and create a new mode and path for the promotion of landmark achievements.
Tan Xin, Director of the Social and Ecological Civilization Teaching and Research Department of the Party School of the CPC Yunnan Provincial Committee (Yunnan Administrative College):
To improve the opening level of Yunnan border areas, we need to achieve full expansion in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, so as to better realize the "balanced" development between regions and between urban and rural areas. By opening up to the outside world in a wider range, in a wider range and at a deeper level, we should give play to the regional advantages of Yunnan border areas, integrate into the international division of labor system, and take advantage of the opportunities of the international and domestic markets to enhance social wealth. In the process of improving Yunnan's border opening level and promoting common prosperity, we must encourage the people in the border areas to have the spirit of creativity and hard work. Under the strong leadership of the CPC, we must roll up our sleeves and work hard.
Gao Xingwei, Associate Professor of the Economics Teaching and Research Department and Deputy Director of the Finance Teaching and Research Office of the CPC Central Party School (National School of Administration):

Support cross-border e-commerce RMB settlement.
