Over two billion of the world's workers and consumers are now involved in the global economy. As a result, hundreds of millions of people have been lifted from poverty. Globalization provides an easier environment for cross-border investment and reduces regulatory barriers to trade. Continuously promoting this trend is becoming the main theme of the 21st century。 However, the road to economic globalization has never been smooth either in the past or in the future. The history of development for free trade and protectionism indicates that, when the global economy is at the stage of growth and prosperity, free trade policies tends to be prominent; and when the global economy is facing a recession, protectionist actions soon float to the surface. So, to this extent, the global battle against all kinds of protectionism needs more countries, more organizations, more enterprises and more people to join and support it. Since the financial crisis broke out world-wide, a sharp drop in demand has been seen globally; also, cross-border trade, investment and capital flows are rapidly shrinking and local enterprises and multinational corporations are experiencing a challenging situation. Allowing too many enterprises that are in difficulties to claim bankruptcy could result in more unemployment and negatively affect the upstream and downstream companies. Many countries are compelled to provide the corporations that are in crisis with assistance. In order to let more opportunities flow to local businesses and citizens, some countries are taking the risk to adopt a series of protective actions which are short-sighted; these measures may cause a domino effect within governments, multinational corporations and a variety of international and domestic organizations and consumers. China Mergers & Acquisition Association (CMAA) -- a Chinese civil business organization that focuses on long-term promotion of trade and investment -- believes deeply that the continued development of cross-border investment and trade and the maintenance of the free flow of capital across the globe are crucial drivers for the mutual prosperity and development of all countries, as well as to enable a quick response to the global financial crisis. The tremendous China’s progressive economic development over the past 30 years is closely related to international trade and global investment at every stage. International trade and global investment contributed the capital, technology and advanced management to China's economic progress, peaceful rise and development. At the same time, other emerging markets and developing countries have also had the opportunity to contribute to global economic growth by providing enormous new market demand and supporting multinational’s global business. Furthermore, the companies and organizations that are actively involved in M&A activities have facilitated the flow of capital across global markets, effectively identified investment opportunities, and promoted technology transfer. In fact, such M&A activity has contributed more than 70% of total cross-border investment. The financial crisis is spreading across various industries in different countries. Protectionism only makes the situation worse. We are now facing the toughest challenge since economic globalization began. To overcome these challenges, we need to rebuild everyone’s confidence in the journey of globalization and common goal of economic development. Although still a developing country, China is taking on great responsibility as an economic giant. The Chinese government has always advocated Chinese enterprises and the public's confidence in the reform and opening up policies and is willing to take joint actions with foreign governments to overcome the global financial crisis. In particular, on March 17 this year, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce issued the "Procedures for the Administration of Overseas Investment" to encourage Chinese enterprises to act responsibly when participating in global investment. The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development also issued the Chinese investment policy assessment report, which encouraged Chinese enterprises to implement responsible business practices. All members of CMAA of National Federation of Industry and Commerce Association will continue to contribute efforts to global economic development. We are also very glad to see that the world's leading economic powers and business leaders, at different occasions, are appealing for confidence in the global economy’s ability to end the financial crisis, and are calling for a boycott of all forms of protectionist measures. We believe that the achievement of global economic growth and increased employment opportunities not only calls for the endeavor of governments and international organizations, but also needs multinational corporations and their suppliers to take on their responsibilities in the global economic recovery and help to stop the spread of protectionism word-wide. Without the responsible business practices implemented by global companies, there would be no great achievement in economic globalization today. We advocate that global companies, their suppliers, and colleagues who are involved in the M&A activities worldwide to fulfill the obligations of implementing responsible business practices and cooperate closely to promote global development through effective global supply chain management. We therefore advocate the following: ?Countries should be utmost restrained and prevent the rise and spread of protectionism; firmly resist unethical business conduct which promotes protectionism in own markets while continue to take advantage of the benefit of globalization ?Promote cross-border trade regulations in line with the principles of fairness and justice that can eliminate imbalances of global investment, improve the trade and capital flow system; ?Act immediately, through providing or transferring necessary services or production techniques to emerging and developing markets, equip them with the basic competencies to participate in global development. To promote continued growth in global demand and the elimination of global imbalances; ?Continue mutual and peaceful development, respect the legal system and the market system differences; assist the host country to build a rational market system; ?While contributing to a non-discriminative trade environment, actively take the same responsibilities and fulfill the same obligations as the enterprises in host countries regarding contractual commitment in investment and labor. CMAA will strive to be an important platform for globalization and a responsible global commercial partner. Let us do everything we can to jointly take responsibility for global development, to overcome the financial crisis, and to cherish the achievement made so far through effort of several generations. Let us act together, mobilize your subsidiaries, your employees, and your suppliers to resist trade and financial protectionism, promote equality, cooperation, common development of the world, and safeguard the world economy with perpetual prosperity and stability.
