PREMIER Li Keqiang on Tuesday said China will promote higher-standard opening up, attract more foreign investment, and encourage more Chinese companies to go global, so as to achieve more win-win outcomes. Li made the remarks at the fifth “1+6” Roundtable. Li pointed out that facing the severe shocks of COVID-19, “The Chinese economy is set to achieve overall positive growth for the whole year, which is a hard-won achievement,” Li said. Li said China never goes after trade surplus, adding the country puts equal emphasis on import and export, and has been actively expanding the import of quality goods and services, with a view to better meeting the needs for industrial and consumption upgrade. Li said in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China will continue to innovate and improve macroeconomic regulation, ensure its policies are consistent, effective and sustainable, and accelerate the building of a world-class, market-based business environment governed by a sound legal framework.
