Reaffirming China's dedication to openness and global cooperation, Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced on Sunday that the country will enhance market access across multiple sectors for foreign investors.
In his opening remarks at the China Development Forum 2025, Li committed to implementing additional measures aimed at facilitating the integration of foreign-funded enterprises into the Chinese marketplace.
Li highlighted that the Chinese economy is characterized by strong resilience, vast potential, and immense vitality. He expressed confidence in the nation's ability to sustain long-term stable growth and contribute to global economic recovery by offering new opportunities.
The Chinese premier urged collaborative efforts to steer the development of the world economy toward a more open, inclusive, and sustainable trajectory.
The China Development Forum 2025 takes place on March 23 and 24, under the theme "Unleashing Development Momentum for Stable Global Growth." This year's forum includes 12 symposiums and several closed-door sessions, addressing topics such as healthcare, consumption, artificial intelligence, and sustainable supply chains.
In his address, which was attended by over 80 top executives from leading multinational corporations, Li extended a warm invitation to global businesses to invest in China, asserting the vital role that foreign-funded enterprises play in the country's development.
He encouraged international executives to capitalize on opportunities in China's extensive consumer market, the resurgence of innovation, and the thriving green economy.
Li warned against protectionism, expressing hope that entrepreneurs worldwide would take proactive measures to uphold economic globalization. He stated, "Enterprises are not only beneficiaries of globalization but should also become firm defenders and promoters of globalization."
He cautioned that decoupling and breaking supply chains would exacerbate crises, stating that suppression and containment would ultimately harm all involved. "If the world returns to the law of the jungle, it will be a step backward in history and a tragedy for humanity."
"As a responsible major country, China will firmly stand on the right side of history and the side of fairness and justice. In the wind and waves of the times, we should be righteous and walk the right path," Li asserted.
Regarding potential external impacts, Li mentioned that China has been preparing for possible unexpected shocks primarily from outside sources. He indicated that the Chinese government would introduce new policies as necessary to ensure the smooth operation of the economy.
During the recent Two Sessions, which comprise the annual meetings of China's top legislature, the National People's Congress, and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China announced its economic growth target of around 5 percent for 2025. Li explained that this target is based on China's economic fundamentals and reflects Beijing's confidence in its capabilities and potential for future growth.
He emphasized that new growth drivers are continually emerging across various sectors, providing sustained momentum for China's economic advancement. Additionally, Li stated that China will intensify policy efforts while leveraging market forces to achieve the central government's expected targets.
